HI there

Over the last week I have been looking at trying to book 2 J awards from MEL to LHR (tried a few other Euro destinations as well) and nothing comes up. I am talking of booking the furthest possible date out each day and see nothing. When I go back a couple of months and the odd flights pop up it is nearly always with CX. I cannot think of a time I have seen an EK flight.

Am I missing something, does every seat to Europe really go at 10am each day? Are they really all gone when I check at 10:30am? Seems rather odd to me.

Any thoughts?

Cheers
Sardine.
 
747sardine Welcome to the forum

Try looking
- for 1 seat first
- MEL-DXB and then DXB to where ever as a seperate flight
- SYD as a departures city

Be very careful of being offered economy for J points

CX is good in J.
 
Depends on your status with QF

I just had a quick look and seen 2 seats out on 9 June with QF to Dubai and then BA to London
Coming back I could only see BA to Hong Kong and QF or CX to Melbourne on 1 july
 
Try looking online 353 days out at at exactly 10:00 Brisbane time.
