CGK-SYD-AKL. Ended up being a partner award, rather than an Oneworld award for some reason...<br /><br />NB, the quirk is that booking a classic award using QFF miles, only allows booking on the codeshare (QF321). If you want to see the LA800 availability you have to use lan.com or britishairways.com to search.<br /><br />There used to be a restriction in the QFF Terms & Conditions:<br /><br />http://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/dyn/...m/terms#jump13<br /><br />13.3.6 LAN: Award Flight bookings are not available on the LA designator from Australia or New Zealand to Santiago. Award Flights must be booked under a QF flight designator.<br /><br />Anyhow, it is a good example of a restricted codeshare.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00073074334981351652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21268368.post-50933847842490607812009-07-28T13:11:07.703-07:002009-07-28T13:11:07.703-07:00>A recent example was a

AAdvantage Awards are not booked into codeshares. Your friend must have booked an award on the operating carrier. This is even stated on the AA site, "Award travel is not valid on codeshare flights"RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962912071663811683noreply@blogger.com
