Advice kindly sought re issues booking QF 1st via AA.com
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this -- I do appreciate it.
I just wondered if anyone knew the answer to this one? I have been lucky enough to book QF 1st three times in the last three years for my Aussie partner in the LHR-SYD direction. I am approaching the time when I was going to attempt to book a new SYD-LHR one-way flight -- for the first time in this direction -- for a flight about a year in advance (around March 2018). However, even in my trial runs I am not seeing ANY Qantas flights returned in the search results on that route, only BA flights (via PVG or PEK) or Finnair flights. I have done trial runs for a month out, six months out, 11.5 months out and yet I am not seeing ANY Qantas flights at all, as I say. I have not had problems in the past booking LHR-SYD flights, so I just wondered if I was missing something obvious here with the opposite SYD-LHR route on AA.com? Or would I have more luck phoning AA instead oftrying to book online if I knew there was definitely QF 1st space available (e.g. via Awardnexus or BA.com)? I'm just flummoxed as to why I can't see ANY Qantas flights showing on this route. (I appreciate QF route via DXB now, but my input parameters are simply SYD and LHR.)
Any guidance would be gratefully received!
