Having trouble using BA to find S7 flights. On routes with no BA connections, S7 is showing, however others only showing BA connections.

For example:- TXL-DME, there's direct S7 flights, but only showing BA via LHR! Is there means to force it to show S7?

What dates are you looking at? S7 only shows seats from around 300 days on, no earlier

Two weeks ago I finalised a One World J award. 4 days later Qantas rang to confirm my CC details and said it would be processed.

I still haven't had the E-tickets issued, taxes debited or points deducted. The booking reference is in MMB so all still looks OK.

I am travelling at the moment overseas on a cruise ship so ringing Qantas is rather difficult. Could anyone please confirm that I have nothing to worry about and this is just in the queue waiting to be processed.

Thanks for any help.

The processing can be slow - give it another week or so and then call them. But like you said, if MMB shows it then you should be okay. Best check that none of your flights have dropped off the booking as that happened to me - a couple of QR sectors evaporated while waiting the few weeks for a ticket to be reissued.

IB seems to be prone to it too - has happened to us multiple times with them on 3 consecutive RTW awards.

LAN and IB used to autocancel if a booking wasn't ticketed within 72 hours. At least this is how it was with USDM bookings

Here to apologise.... sorry worked out that I have 2 BA accounts, but the one that has the UK address is my .com email, I have been searching using my .com.au email. - This is the only reason I can see for me getting the errors and being unable to search BA rewards flights.
Now I have corrected this error, find that BA are a week behind in releasing dates. (but showing plenty of seats avail for the week prior to my date.)
Will give QF a call once the flight opens and see if they can see J availability.

Hope it's ok to link to my own blog here, but I've written two posts collecting all my info on successfully booking an OW classic reward flight. Hopefully it'll help some people here get their trip sorted :)

Still needs a bit of work, decryption. I just had a quick look and spotted 2 errors on the first page. One's obviously a typo (you've got 6 flights allowed instead of 16) and there's no requirement to fly QF at all - the rules just state you have to fly on 2 airlines other than QF, not 2 other airlines and QF.

Hi
Just wondering if something like this might work . We are based in Sydney but can easily start the trip in Canberra in order to add a domestic trip later in the year.

CBR HKG (stop) (mid September 2017)
HKG - FCO (stop)
LHR. - MCO. (Stop)
JFK - SYD (stop) (mid December )
SYD - PER (stop) (July - august)
PER - SYD (transit only and would drop the last flight)
SYD - CBR


Thanks

no
when you get to Sydney from New York, your 140/280/420 award is over
The rest will have to be a separate award
