Chose GE over OWE in order to get access to PH for tour of Samoa and Fiji. Now told that unless Qantas issues ticket, I cannot use PH codeshare in south pacific, meaning I need to forego one or the other destination. Qantas will not issue ticket when they are not the first international carrier whereas AA has said they will issue a ticket so long as they fly any route on it. Is this accurate or are we speaking to the wrong Qantas employee? I'm confused as to why rules governing the GE and OWE products are treated differently by member airlines.
