Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

[SYD]

The cheapest possible.

Like the Sale that just finished! I unfortunately had to cancel a trip (from the Mar 25 DSC), and rebooked to go to DEL via MEL (return).

The current NZ “Sale” doesn’t look that exciting…

I've still got a DSC from this offer in the bank. For the J runs to Auckland which type of business fare do you book? - I think the options were sale, saver and something else.

For me my trip wasn't a pure status run.
I used Qantas points flying to Auckland & a one way sale fare coming back.

OK many thanks @sudoer - I wasn't sure whether the higher number of SC's for flex J was what people went for given that the purpose of the trip is to gather SC's

Depends what you need… East Coast to NZ (before DSC and without a connection) is 80/85/90 each way, depending on the J earn category, so do the math and figure out how cheaply you can do what you need

I haven't got a particular target in mind, but I do want to bank some SC's while I have the DSC offer available so I need less towards the end of my QFF year.

If you have no specific target, a sale fare will yield the best $/SC rate.

Oof. I thought I had it tough flying MEL-SYD-AKL-BNE-MEL in J the other year...

I booked my Ool-Mel-Akl, Akl-Mel-Syd in J in July next year using the multicity tool so I have one PNR. It was actually $70 cheaper if I booked it as 2 oneways (so 2 PNRs) but if I had to cancel it would cost me A$200 + NZ$200...on one PNR, the cancellation cost is just A$200.

The SCs for each flight posted whilst I was in flight, and all double SCs posted within 24 hours of the last flight The 530 SCs have brought my total to 1191 SCs

Had a classic upgrade award applied to the second flight in the PNR. First flight posted with proper bonus for both of us.
Nothing for second after nine days
Emailing QFF is one of the perils of wandering

Yeah I could have taken an earlier flight to get home sooner but didn't wsnt anyone to touch the booking!

We have a booking for 2 ( single PNR) under this promotion. We need to cancel this booking and travel separately on different days. If we split the booking , cancel for a voucher each and then rebook separate flights with the vouchers, do we both keep the DSC on our new bookings, or do one of us ( or both of us) loose the DSC’s for the new bookings? Thanks for any advice

I imagine that one of you would keep the original PNR, that should keep the DSC. The other new booking probably won't - booked (or created) outside of the booking window. But never know your luck.

DSC landed within 2 business days for half of my flights between Sunday and Wednesday. Nothing since. Taking their sweet time to award the bonus DSC for the remaining flights

Probably because of the pain the other DSCs were in...

Damned autocorrect.... Fixed now thanks.

Weird thing is that I had 3 DSC bookings, and 1.5 of them have posted. Could understand why the 3rd one hasn't posted yet, but not sure why the 0.5 hasn't posted (i.e. the 2nd half of the 2nd DSC booking)? Hoping I don't need to chase and deal with Qantas FF support...

Similar.

MEL -SIN (Posted)
SIN - HND (JL N/A)
NRT - BNE (Posted) connecting to
BNE - MEL (just regular SC and its now a few days).

I hope the interns haven't broken anything with the new DSC. (Also I don't think I can easily claim this as it was a points flight club movie).

I took another movie session today and will see when (if) that posts from this sales period.
