If I go from TYO to an Australian airport, I can do the CHC-YVR flight.
If I originate in BKK (instead of TYO) and go to SIN on Jetstar (3K) on my first flight, I can later do the CHC-YVR. However, if I change the BKK-SIN flight to the recently reinstated CX one then the later CHC-YVR has to go via AKL and HKG.
So start on QF (or one of the Jetstars) then all good, anything else then it’s no no no!!
Perhaps this is something that a travel agent could overcome, but don’t think I can.
Jetstar is not an eligible carrier with the Oneworld Explorer *ONE*, with a JQ exception as below
Rule 4
(i) The same city pairs/sectors cannot be flown more than once in the same direction.
(j) Travel on any AA/AS/AT/AY/BA/CX/IB/JL/MH/NU/QF/QR/RJ/UL codeshare service operated by AA/AS/AT/AY/BA/CX/IB/JL/MH/NU/QF/QR/RJ/UL is permitted.
Other codeshare services not permitted with the exception of QF Codeshare services operated by Jetstar (JQ).
If you are looking at Jetstar marketed flights you are booking a Global Explorer *GLO*. Not a *ONE*. They have different rules.
My understanding the (poor) OW booking tool is only for *ONE*.
There is no
"CHC to YVR flight". It has to be CHC XXX YVR. Must all include flights.
