Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

[vetrade]

Hi there
quick question relating to booking MH rewards seats using QFF points.
Will all seats be released 353 days before departure, or are seats sometimes released periodically before departure date?
i have a J seat outbound ADL-KUL for next feb, but currently J return availability for my prefered date early march is not available, could this change as departure date gets closer?
thanks in advance

It's very "hit or miss" (mainly miss) in my experience. Classic reward availability for direct MH flights from KUL to MEL, ADL, PER or SYD etc often only shows up for random dates. FWIW, I think you're more likely to get MH KUL - MEL direct than to ADL e.g. there's J available ATM for KUL - MEL around 19/6/25 or 5/11/25. The MH KUL - ADL route seems to rarely have rewards available for some reason.

Batches of rewards covering blocks of about 14 days do get released 3 - 5 months out but the availability that QF shows is nearly always via places like Denpasar or Singapore - and often involves jetstar flights - and most of the time it's only Y available.

Luck plays a big part so I think you will need a Plan B
