Thanks - appreciate this!
Does anyone know why I would be able to see a flight from JFK-SYD on the normal classic reward search but it doesn't turn up on the multi-trip search? I think it might be a project sunrise flight, because it's a direct flight and it says it's subject to government approval. Do you think Qantas might be able to manually add it in? I'm cautious about calling the call centre if they definitely can't do it as I'm flying economy and don't have a bunch of points to spare.
Also - I have reorganized my trip as I realized that China Airlines isn't a oneworld partner, so I'm thinking about buying some fares in that part of my trip (for example: to taipei from singapore). Just in case is there another way within the oneworld alliance that people usually go about their Asia legs to places like Taipei?
