Folks,

New to this RTW planning lark, and have a question.

I am travelling from LHR, and need to go to SYD and MEX for work. It looks like an RTW offers the best value for travel. So I started having a look, and during the weekend in the middle of my work visits, wondered if I could get to Tokyo - always fancied going, and I have spent time in Sydney before and don;t really fancy Mexico, so looked like an ideal opportunity.

Then I realised I could try and do most of the major OW airlines, and do a comparison TR. So I had in mind:
BA : LHR - HKG
CX : HKG - SYD
QF : SYD - NRT
JL : NRT - SAN
AA : SAN - DFW - MEX
AA : MEX - DFW - LHR

So I went off to the booking tool, and it was going okay - but I am struggling to find availability on QF21 on either 17/08 or 18/08. I can book it through the Qantas website. Am I missing something?

I know this trip does not maximise TP or miles etc, but I need to minimise time away from the family, and the company are paying so I cannot rack up too many taxes etc.

Many thanks
