- Anything involving QR in later segments seems to be hit and miss - esp with the availability on EF actually being there
- Same as above with QF segments - especially longer ones
- Alaska routings are hit and miss - they seem to work better as part of a connection pair
- When a segment is only available in Y, often the tool will display a nonsense error like too many segments
- The "too many miles" is almost never actually because of miles, but because it's choking on some other rule violation
Hope these tips help!
That's helpful, thanks.
What seems to have fixed it is clearing out my cookies, coning back as a guest and selecting QANTAS as the preferred airline before I put any cities in. Not sure which part(s) of that helped but itineraries I couldn't do before are working AOK now.
It threw the mis-labelled 34k distance error with CAI-MAD-DPS...GRU-HEL-DXB where-CAI-MAD-DPS...GRU-DOH worked fine so that's one thing it can't cope with. I may see if I can do a manual reissue later (would be more confident doing that with AA or BA or even JL/CX but I doubt any of them will touch it after QF issue).
