How can I use QF FF points to book MH?

I am trying to use QF FF points classic rewards to fly ADL-MNl return, using the QF web site they show many one world airlines CX, EK and QR but never MH


Is there any way to book MH using QF FF points?

Welcome to FT

With QF awards you a need to cross check a cash fare on a ranges of airlines to see it is value. QF has high award surcharges.
There may not be award availability. When do you want to fly? What class?
Or MH may not show up on the QF web site. You may need to phone QF

Try looking for ADL-KUL, KUL-MNL, MNL-KUL and KUL-ADL each separately. And on different days
What is wrong using CX? As a guess EK & QR are via DXB/DOH, unless you are being offered a segment to Asia
Or CX ADL HKG award and then a paid air fare HKG-MNL-HKG

(I will ask for this to be moved to the QF forum)

Edit:
Some old (2013) QF forum threads (please do not reply to these)
Looks like MH does not show on QF (in 2013). So phone

Thanks for the reply

I want to fly business class in January

CX goes over MNL to HKG so further and more points QF and MH are around 60,000 points ADL-MNL and CX is 78,000 points

I was thinking they may be a one world website where one can book flight but I guess not. I will call QF if I can't find any other way just didn't want to spend the extra points for something I should be able to do myself

Business class and January make it hard. If early January or near end of January harder again (school & university holidays)

The reason for checking each segment is to check availability. Then phone to QF to put together as a one way awards. No advantage booking as a return award. QF fly SYD MNL 5 days a week,

MH does not fly ADL-MNL, only connecting via KUL. I suggest you search look for individual segments (ADL-KUL and KUL-MNL) using BA.com for example to search for award flights if its not shown on the Qantas website.

To use Qantas points you need to book through Qantas, either on the website if the availability shows or by calling.

i've never seen MH award seats show up on QFff. Unlike QR,CX,BA,AA,RJ,IB etc.that regularly do. You would need to call them check availability and to book.

You need to call QFF to get seats on MH - they don't show online on the QF site
