getting to Dubai

[Clive005]

Hi all we are planing a Europe trip in sept/Oct 2025, I have plenty of Velocity and Qantas Points we would really like to have a stop off in Dubai and would preferably fly Emerits , Business class, having a look on the Qantas Web site does not seem to be a lot of availability, I know they have not been released past July 2025 yet but does not seem much available at all, does anyone have any advise for me? we don't mind the idea of coming home through Dubai if that's a better option
Thanks

QF does not do stop overs on normal awards. So if QF would be 2 awards AU to EU. [Au-DXB, DXB-Eu).
But stopovers OK on the QF Oneworld Classic award. Refer to the dedicated thread. However getting AU to DXB on oneworld a little difficult.
