Combining award flights into a revenue booking?

[tdimdad]

A seemingly simple question but possibly a slightly tricky answer where I'd appreciate the group smarts here, please.
I'm planning a SYD-HEL-TPE-SYD loop. To maximise the SC haul, I'm thinking of doing the return trip as HEL-xLHR-xSIN-TPE / TPE-xSIN-SYD (but am open also to TPE-xHKG-SYD, or similar alternatives with QF service back to SYD).

The multi-city engine spits its dummy with this one. I can get SYD-HEL / HEL-SIN / SIN-SYD priced, and could buy separate CX/CI or other revenue fares for the SIN-TPE-SIN segments.

But there seems also to be good QF award availability for the SIN-TPE-SIN route. Is there a way I can entice the QF call centre / reservations to do a revenue ticket for SYD-HEL-SIN-SYD and add awards for the SIN-TPE segments on the same ticket? Having them on the same ticket would add a bit of cover in case of delays or missed connections.

You can't mix CI redemption and QF/AY commercial on the same ticket, but it is possible to have both tickets ticketed in the one PNR for through-check purposes albeit unprotected as CI is not oneworld. AY/CI have an interline agreement as do CI/QF.

But what if I did the QF awards on CX or MH flights, i.e. stayed within OW? The revenue ticket would be ticketed by QF (081), anyway. Would that make any difference?

To get two tickets onto a single PNR, how can I make that happen?

Then it boils down to the operating carrier in question that's late. Some oneworld carriers are great about dealing with irops with separate tickets on the same PNR, others not so much.

As has already been mentioned, agents can do such a booking if they wish.
