SYD to SCL - No availability
I'm trying to get from SYD to SCL in Jan or Feb on a LONE 4 and there is no availability. Are there any other options? (besides going via North America)

No other options to get between SYD and SCL other than flying direct or going through North America.
That route typically has very little Y RTW or award seats.

Check both LA and QF codes. Inventory is managed separately. Nonetheless Jan/Feb is a busy travel period down under so there may well be no availability remaining in the required (fairly low) booking class.

Thanks Kiwi, already tried that.
Looks like I will need to change from 4-5 to get it done and go via LAX

EF says SYD-SCL on QF 321 on 19 Feb is L9; L2 on the 21st.
Remember that seat availability is different on SYD-SCL v. AKL-SCL, even though it's the same plane.

Good point. There are plenty of QF flights between AKL & SYD (and also BNE/MEL).

Thanks. Probably 14 Jan - 14 Feb would be my limit. I might try to wait longer to fly.

You may have to WAITLIST on the QF flight number.. LA does not allow you to waitlist whereas QF does.
