A good time waster too, eh? Meaning it in a nice way, of course.
Playing around, this means that if we/I book, SYD to AKL with an EK flight code, it earns 671 points than if booking a QF flight code, where its 1000 points across the "ditch".
They (QF) are really starting to keep their $ close to themselves, encouraging us to "fly" with a QF code only, at all cost. And if we dare to stray, we pay, by not only earning less, using Au to NZ as a eg, QF and EK, that you MUST fly with a QF code to earn the most.
Equality (as I know it) has gone out the window.
