How can one prove a negative?

The ticket can be issued on any oneworld carrier's paper. That is the whole point of the product.

From the sales restrictions category in the fare rules:

Nothing about first sectors. (The auto pricer may suggest that QR is the preferred ticketing carrier because it's first and no one else has any better claim to print the ticket. But that can be easily overruled. Frankly if the agent doesn't know how to change the ticketing carrier they should stick to issuing SYD-BNE one ways.)

I'm going to bed before I get any more grumpy :D

Get some sleep!

Sup is quoting one world tool where it says you must call qatar if first flight is on them and saying they cant do it because if there are disruptions in my flights it would be difficult for them to handle.

She keeps asking me why I am so insistent on booking with them.

Has anyone heard of this??

oneworld tool?

Is she booking this on RTW.oneworld.com ??

Can she not price it as a normal itinerary on her Amadeus terminal using the DONEx fare basis ...?


To be honest, if she doesn't want your money, it's probably not worth it. Forgive me as I don't quite remember who posted what, but have you already tried JL, AA, CX and BA?

That was her response when I read her the actual rule you posted (thank you!). I told her that was not in the rules but on the tool and that other airlines have no problem with it.

I have. There is talk that QF hasn't raised their fare yet so I was trying to lock that in.

If I am correct, I can make changes to my booking through AA RTW travel desk even though I book on QF?

QF has come back and said they are still trying to figure out if they can ticket out of that region, but spoke to the fare department and the ticket will cost $11,300 USD.

I am very curious to here what they come back with for tombilske...

good luck.

jl aa cx ba ib have adjusted the fare. the rest have not. i would imagine qf.is the best qualified to deal with rtw among the remaining airlines as australians like to travel.

ab have also adjusted the fare. it is interesting to see how long it takes for different airlines to adjust the fare for future reference

Well you have been busy while I've been sleeping

Sorry you're having so much trouble with QF. Being Aussie, I feel guilty by association!

Stick at it. And good luck!

Qantas has raised its fares.

are u able.to book at the old fare?

So Qantas came back to me this morning and quoted me a price of $5,500 AUD, but with some incorrect flight dates for the first flights.

So I worked with an agent this morning to change the flights, and they went and repriced the ticket but came back and told me that it had gone up and they couldn't ticket it at that price anymore.

The lady on the phone I was dealing with was super helpful, probably the best customer service agent I have ever dealt with from an airline, and what ended up happening was they agreed to honour the original fair because they had quoted it to me this morning.

So with the new recruiting, I got a DONE5 ex-MPM for a final cost of $5,400AUD.

Taught me a lesson in ticket first, change later. But those dates really wouldn't have worked, specifically for the first flight.

I gave them my credit card details but I haven't yet been charged. Still fingers crossed until an eticket arrives in my inbox.

you are quite lucky, glad that it works out for you. i booked my second ticket
on july 20 mpm doh hkg jfk gru jnb . i m sure i wont fly that. and i did the booking in one hour, the fare was gone on cx the next day.

Yes. Qantas honoured their commitment to hold the AUD4,500 fare for me until midnight tonight. This is in contrast to American who upped the price while the itinerary was on hold.

Quality Qantas. Well done.
