On a separate (or possibly related) note, I've got an itinerary in the tool that goes SSH-AMM-DME-xDOH-IAH . . . HKG-JED but the tool says it's incomplete, wanting to return me to SSH. Is this a bug or have I done something wrong?
Does anyone know if this has now changed. I cannot find that note on the OneWorld booking tool (unless I am looking in the wrong place). However, if I choose an itinerary with QR as the first leg out of South Africa - fyi CPT - DOH, on the odd occasion that the on-line booking tool actually works long enough for me to select a flight the only options it brings up are CPT-PLZ-JNB-DOH or CPT-DUR-JNB-DOH (even after having spoken to QR who have confirmed that D class is available on the direct CPT-DOH service).
