Booking OneWorld Partner flights
Hi all,
I'm looking to do a TP run - I just want Silver so I still get lounge access.
I did a HEL-LHR-DXB trip last year that bagged 400 points (I currently work in HEL, so that's a good starting point).
I was looking at doing something similar, but maybe with partially QR. So, HEL-LHR-DOH-DXB. Or maybe HEL-FRA-DOH-DXB. Split between BA/AY/QR.
No matter which site I use, I cannot get a price. I even tried the OneWorld site, and that gave the HEL-FRA-DOH-DXB option - but re-directed me to the Finnair site which just barfed
Is there any way to book these sort of itineraries? Preferably online!!!
Thanks

Hope this helps.

I think I'm suffering from old age, as I can't figure out how to do it on the QR site! If I do a multi-city and choose HEL as a start point, LHR or FRA do not appear as destinations for the first leg.
Could you explain to a thickie how to do it?
Thanks!

Tried yesterday again on the QR website.
Unable to find routing via FRA, it did last Thursday/Friday.
I would call QR, and book the itinerary HEL-FRA-DOH-DXB.
See below for the rules of routing possibilities.

3 * HEL-AB-BER-QR-DOH-QR-DXB
4 * HEL-S7/QR-MOW-QR-DOH-QR-DXB
Fare is valid till midnight.
Now back to work, and handle all the delays.
