Hi everyone!
I am looking into flying from Sydney to Milan (MXP) via Tokyo. I am a QF frequent flyer and I would like to get the tickets from Sydney to Tokyo and from Tokyo to Sydney with my points and pay for the Tokyo to Milan (via xyz) and back journey. Ideally I would want to stop in Tokyo for 7 days on the way to Europe and for another 3 days on the way back.
Also, I would prefer not to fly QF between Tokyo and Milan as I am trying to keep my flying time to a minimum (I will be travelling with kids). I have seen that both JAL and Finnair fly from Tokyo to Milan via Helsinki, which would be a good option.
My question is... how to I go about buying such a ticket? If I get the Sydney - Tokyo - Sydney with points through the QF website, how can I link those tickets to the JAL/Finnair tickets? Do I even have to link them or can I treat them as separate tickets? I know these companies are all One World companies... so, is there a way to get such tickets easily or should I ask a travel agent's?
Any advice? Thanks!
