Best approach for booking J from Aus to Europe for Jun-Aug 2024?

[nezbit]

Hello,

QFF Plat here.

Wondering the best way to secure 2xJ Au to Western/Southern Europe for Jun through Aug 2024. I was able to secure J seats for this year, but it was a bit of a slog.

Are there any oneworld member airline releases that I should be aware of (ie: do CX, BA, or AY load their partner reward flights for the summer around a particular time period)?

Request release of J seats on QF metal. Have lots of dates you're willing to fly on and you might get lucky.

BA seems to be fairly reliably releasing 2xJ seats at the end of schedule. Carrier charges are highway robbery.

CX and JL sometimes do release at end of schedule as well. They have been a bit inconsistent though.

Another to consider is China Airlines. They seem to be releasing at end of schedule too.

Search both Australia to Europe and individual legs (eg Australia - SIN; SIN - Europe).

What does end of schedule mean please?

What does end of schedule mean please?

It basically means the end of the current period for seat release by particular carrier. eg: 353 days ahead, 330 days ahead etc depending on each carrier and how they do it.

That's my understanding anyway.
