JAL website - booking tickets USA-AUSTRALIA
Hi all,
I can't find any info on this, so apologies if it has been discussed.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to book a ticket to Australia ex-USA using the JAL website? It only offers me the option to book to Tokyo, and then onto an Asian destination - but not Oceania.
I know the through fare exists, as I can buy it through other OTAs. I would rather buy it through JAL, however.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Joe

Thanks, Chris. And JAL confirmed that you are unable to buy these tickets online. If you DO buy them through JAL, the ticket must be purchased by credit card in the same name as the passenger, which is NOT the case if you buy through an OTA.

I booked a ticket on AA: BOS-NRT-SYD, then back SYD-LAX.
use kayak or google flights, there will be a link to AA.com.
I don't think you can book a return on expedia or TA. However, you can easily find a O/W from US to SYD through TA site.
