I am trying to book a “round the world” trip "London – Tokyo – Sydney – Los Angeles – London" but keep getting error messages, either:-
- No flights available for Tokyo to Sydney, despite numerous flights if searching directly on Qantas.
- For Sydney to Los Angeles the site insists on going via Asia, ignoring the direct flights offered by American and Qantas.
This worked perfectly last year, but I did not travel due to the ongoing Covid situation (especially in Japan).
I am being very flexible with dates, +/- 30 days for November, so no reason for not being able to find flights.
Does anybody have similar problems?
Any help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
What class of travel?
As above *all* flights are booked direct with an airline.
Oneworld is just a marketing organisation with airlines that co-operate with each other or complete fiercely head to head.
The RTW tool has its faults. And needs
L D A fare classes to be available.
For Tokyo (HND NRT) - SYD also look for JL flights. And to MEL or BNE.
Flights loads AU<--->USA are high as are prices. Not yet back to pre CV19 capacity, especially with QF.
Too many people only think Australia=SYD when it comes to flights to/from Australia.. More so with USA.
You may need to chose a different route.
With just
London – Tokyo – Sydney – Los Angeles – London you have a lot more segments.
Other places in EU to start can have a lower price..
Airlines that fly USA/Canada to/from Australia. Following the pandemic, routes are being re-established and some new routes. Schedules can change. Route restart dates subject to change.
