Checking availability - partner airlines?
Hi All
On my QFF account I can only see a few airlines - eg BA, CX and QF
Is there a particular member of OW who shows all partner FF availability?
E.g. my *A membership is with US and I use ANA to show availability for all *A airlines.
Any OW equivalent please?
Thanks guys

I wouldn't say that. It really depends on the airline(s) and routes you are looking for, whether it is just point to point, and for particular days or a range.
BA does not work with some Australian and other countries airports.
BA struggles with anything involving a connection.
BA will not show more than 3 partner award options for a particular day.
When searching for awards, firstly understand which airlines will be likely options and what routes they travel. Then search using the most appropriate oneworld search engines and tailor the search to suit:
For AU domestics Qantas.com is the obvious choice.
For US domestics AA.com is the obvious choice.
AA.com is very good at showing connecting options.
BA.com you should search segment by segment (ie SYD-DXB, DXB-LHR rather than just SYD-LHR).
Using QF points, Emirates provides a lot of additional options and will not showup on other oneworld award search engines.
