My preferred choice of SYD-SCL would be ideal but there is almost no D class availability - I've checked many months (from April 2026 backwards)and it seems there may be some closer to departure but hoping there may be some is not going to work from a planning perspective.
I guess I could go from SYD-LAX-MIA and then down into South America that way and then on to London - bit of a long way round but may work
Any thoughts ?
QF are notoriously stingy with D availability on many of their TPAC flights. I'd say wait it out and pay a change fee later but it may never happen. It's hard to say. I know I've been forced onto AA metal twice from Oz to US because of this. But I still used QF codes for better AAdvantage earnings.
