That's annoying that QF is getting MH bookings too. As long as the ticket isn't issued yet then you should be able to cancel with no penalty.

Yeah, CX isn't bad to deal with, it's not as good as AA since there is no dedicated number to call into. You still have to deal with general customer service who will then forward your request to the team that handles RTWs, but it's nowhere near as bad as QF.

Oops I read that as AS not AT.

Not sure if it would, but a sticky on points like these might help novices? (MH first sector gets ticketed by QF, JL charge an extra fee but are decent to deal with, CX are decent but you need to go through the general line, QF have issues with a,b,c,d…)

It would certainly help me and I'm not exactly a novice. Have been doing RTW's since the late 90's. The problem is that it's a constantly evolving landscape and since I did my last one in 2020 or so everything has changed.

Thanks again. Ended up calling the US number to cancel and did so without any great problem. I think I'm going to end up ticketing this via a T/A.

By the way, does anyone know if Air Tahiti Nui flights can be included in a DONE4? If I'm posting in the wrong thread, please feel free to send me in the right direction. I'm sure I read something about Air Tahiti Nui flights on a Oneworld RTW on Flyertalk, but I can't find it. Last I saw you could include QF codeshare services operated by Air Tahiti Nui, but that was back in 2016.

No, Air Tahiti Nui flights can't be booked as part of a oneworld Explorer.

Bollocks. Okay thanks, good to know. Not even if they are QF codeshare services operated by Air Tahiti Nui?

I'm trying to work out which Pacific destinations I can get on on a Oneworld Explorer and how. Ideally from Australia to LAX or DFW. Does anyone have experience with this?

I also looked at BNE/HIR/NAN/LAX (or DFW) - QF and Fiji Airlines flights - but couldn't get the online tool to price it.

This is from the rules in ExperFlyer:

Fiji Airways also isn't in an option as it's not in oneworld.

Okay thanks,but Fiji Airways is in Oneworld since June 24 - see here : https://www.airwaysmag.com/new-post/...rways-oneworld so surely should be bookable on a Oneworld Explorer.

I guess other that that, the objective would be to find QF and AA flights into and out of Pacific destinations.

No, FJ isn't a member, it's a "oneworld connect" member, which largely seems to be useless.

Ah okay thanks - hadn't twigged there was a difference!

They'll be a OW member in the next 1-2 years, but not yet unfortunately. Until that happens, you can't used them on DONEx. You can however used them on DGLOB34, but then you're limited to 34k miles in total which may or may not be possible based on how many intentional long-er haul segments you have than is actually necessary to complete your itinerary. Just for example, something intentionally criss-crossing continents like xxx-JFK-SEA-DOH-DUB-DOH-MAD-DOH-xxx isn't likely to work on a DGLOB34, that needs to be done on a DONEx where mileage doesn't matter.

But DGLOB34 and DONE4 are typically nearly the same price, so if you have an itinerary that's more efficiently routed then you can use FJ.

Airlines for Oneworld Explorer (*DONE*)Airlines for Global Explorer (*GLOB*)The differences are
For full OW members pacific island destinations limited to QF and some airlines to HNL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel...tional_Airport. (may be other destinations?)
When AS fully completes the takeover of HA (into OW) will be more Pacific destination options.
When FJ becomes a full OW member will be more Pacific destination options.

I’m about to complete my RTW trip ex-CAI, next month. I just realized that my final segment, DOH-CAI on Qatar Airways, doesn’t really work for my plans. However, since it’s part of a connecting ticket JRO-DOH-CAI, it’s a bit complicated. I contacted a Qatar Airways agent, and they confirmed that dropping the final segment is against policy.

Here’s my question:
1. Can a Qantas agent assist by canceling the last leg and reissuing the ticket without any fees, given that I’ve flown most of the RTW segments already?
2. If that’s not possible, would it work to simply not check in any baggage on the JRO-DOH leg and skip boarding the final DOH-CAI segment?



Thanks in advance for any guidance on this!

Additional information: I just checked Oneworld RTW rule, Egypt is included in Middle East continent region, therefore starting from CAI ending at DOH qualifies RTW ticket rule.
