Seems like the site is being hammered pretty hard at the moment. Haven't been able to complete any searches so far.

The award charts apply to Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon Flight Awards only.

For Asia Miles Mixed-Carrier Award, please refer to mileage requirement quoted at different redemption channels.
So it seems there will be no mixed-carrier award chart at all.

If the desired route cannot be quoted from the Online Required Miles tool (https://www.asiamiles.com/en/afr.html), we need to call just for required miles quotation. Woww... wonderful.

Do you mean if for example you wanted to quote SYD-HKG on QF and HKG-LHR on CX? I don't know but I suspect that this will be charged sector by sector.

If you have three different carriers then you can refer to the one world multi carrier award chart.

Your case is just one of the examples. How about JFK-(JL)-NRT-(JL)-LHR? Also most of domestic flights are not possible to quote (such as USH-FTE on LA).

It doesn't look too bad in terms of one ways on single carriers, 5k more for longhaul and no change at all for short haul.

Anyone have any luck actually getting a booking? I tried to book 2 J on QR MIA-JNB. I have a charge pending on CC but the transaction timed out. I did not get a confirmation and the miles are still in my account. All phone lines seem to be dead.

I can’t even get any searches to complete let alone get to the booking stage.

That's my experience now. I tried to jump on it because QR MIA-DOH in J was pricing out to 90k each way. Not sure if that's right, but I want it.

Ugh. Trying to search for J for YYZ to HKG in early August. Server is ridiculously busy.

You think its busy, or they just don't have it operational yet?
