    On Qantas home page, under book, then flights, click "using our interactive map" actually shows all the rewards flights to everywhere on a map

    Brilliant information! Thank you SO much for sharing - it will save me a huge amount of stress, and time!!!, particularly the case now with Qantas's new Classic Plus 'initiative'!!!!!! (yeah, right!) ... leaving almost no Classics to find, or using up all your valuable points on this new Classic Plus. Much appreciated :)

  • @clairedytinkerbell
    @clairedytinkerbell 4 месяца назад +1

    Hi Raymond, I think Qantas may have taken down that (2) booking route you mentioned. It definitely worked the first time I tried it - i.e. showing all the class options on the larger calendar - but now it doesn't seem to be showing that same page; I can't seem to get there anymore. I wonder if you're still able to find it??
    Love your posts, looking forward to watching all the different categories particularly Super. :)

    • @raymondla

    Hi Raymond! I tried the BA site and couldn't get any flights to show up - I don't know if it was properly showing all the partner airlines. Do you have any advice there? I also joined the Japan Airlines site but I need to wait 60 days before I can use it. I did, however, use your "multi-city" trick and it worked. I am going to Japan next year and used your advice to secure these flights with classic rewards. I'm currently gold QFF status. The "normal" method wasn't showing anything, so your advice has helped me greatly, and I greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much! Richard.

    Tried the third method, found the business class reward seats on a Qatar flight from Brisbane to London via the British Airways site. I then called Qantas to book the classic rewards seats and the Qantas staff member could not see the same rewards seats that I could. Not sure if this was because I am only at Bronze level or not.

    this is good but i don’t think that you can use the last method with emirates as BA is not an Emirates partner. Qatar is still good though.
