Quantas search engine
« on: July 08, 2010, 10:23:27 PM »
Hey all,

Forgive me if this has been discussed in another topic, I haven't been able to find it elswhere.

I read on this forum that the Qantas site is the best site to search for award availability for all OneWorld flights.

I just went on it and they limit the departure/destination cities to a very short list, they didn't even have cities like Montreal or Manchester!!

Am I missing something here?

On KVS they have a separate search for cathay awards that uses your asiamiles login info.

I am not in front of my computer now so I am not 100% sure but if I remember correctly in the "award availability" section when you pull down the different options to search you should see CX awards, (I think its the 2nd to last option).
