Coast to Coast J would have to be very close to being the best ROI (excluding point upgrades) ... we average around 2.5c per point (after deducting the cash component) for our Int classic award bookings. MASA we'd get 3.75c doing F return to London (after deducting cash conponent & point earn).
Hi again, thanks for your valuations but I must admit I am stuck getting a high valuation for economy for Melbourne to London.
I picked a fare for one midweek late this August to fly there and come back
Cost= $1314 + $1116 = $2430
or
144200 +122400 points = 266600points (inclusive of taxes and charges)
243000cents/ 266600 =0.91 cents/point
But I couldn't find the points value if I choose to pay taxes and charges, without doing an actual booking.
But elsewhere on the Qantas site they had in the Where You can Go, 64,000 points Melbourne to London plus $362 taxes and charges.
So 64,000x2 +$362X2= 128,000points + $724 for a return trip.
Thus using the total fare cost of $2340
(2430-724)x100/128000= 1.333cents per point, which is a higher value than paying the taxes and charges with points, but still not really that high a cent per point value.
Regards,
Renato
