Hi there,

Please feel free to direct me to the right thread if this query has already been answered. BTW, fantastic collection of forums here. Quite comprehensive.

Anyhow, I've booked a multi-sector trip on a Oneworld award, through Qantas reservations, in U class. Routing is PER/MEL/AKL/LAX/ORD/LGA/YYZ/JFK/HEL/BKK/SIN/PER.

For the AA sector LAX/ORD, QF reservations said that AA don't offer a business class product on this sector, so we'd been booked in economy. Although, when I bring up U class seat maps for AA (even on the 757), it shows rows 1-6, which I guess is the 'first' cabin on the 757.

What's the go with this? As a U class award booking should we be in the first cabin on this service, given that it cost 280k odd points. Or, would we have had to book a first class award?

Just seems to be at odds with paid J class fares, when AA doesn't offer a business class product, we are seated in the first cabin.

Over to the very knowledgeable members of flyertalk...
