Oman Air seats now showing up as QF Classic Rewards

Interesting that Business Studio (i.e. First) redemptions will come online as well, early next year.

Hmmm... the Qantas search tools (both normal and multi-city) are not coping well with WY.

There's a glitch in that they're showing as no availability, even though the awards do show in the normal view (but not in multi-city, annoyingly).

That’s very good. I noticed they changed it from First to Business studio too similar to what MH and others have done.
Will be interesting to see if the MCT F lounge is accessible for OWE’s or it remains the same strict sanctuary for F passengers which is a big complaint from my cousin who has too elite status with WY and can’t enter the F lounge

Can stitch together LHR - MCT - CGK - SYD for 176,200 points and about 600 GBP.

Does involve a whole day in Oman (flight arrives at 7am and leaves at 2am the next day!) but there's a few big name 5* hotels in Muscat which are 250-300 AUD. Also about 5hrs between flights in Jakarta. CGK - SYD on QF of course.

Not at all ideal but given there's so few opportunities to Europe on QFF...

If you're entering it on the multi city tool, flight 2 is two days after flight 1 (due to the long gap) and flight 3 is the same day as flight 2.

Either a lot of WY award inventory has been snapped up in the past week, or the QF website is struggling a bit. I've been keen to go to Oman for ages and spotted heaps of availability ex MNL next April (where I already had some flights ex SYD bookended with view to buying a cheap cash fare to Europe).

Multiple J seats were showing on multiple days MNL-MCT-MNL last week. It's very scant now. What makes me think that it might be a QF issue is that AC still has good availability on the dates I was looking at. Aeroplan points are on sale atm, so I might just go with that option...
