I am looking to take advantage of double staus credits and put my son and husband over to gold, I am looking at a trip ex Rockhampton to Cairns this weekend. However I have struck an odd thing. On the return journey i.e Carins to Rockhampton on Sunday 29 January, they can fly Carins -Townsville (change flight numbers), townsville to Rockhampton (change of flight numbers), and rockhampton to Brisbane. Now to book the same flight Cairns to Rocky is no business class and $425 on a flex while to book the full sequence costs $488 and is listed as business. So I know the flights are on an embraer, so Is it business class, and if so, what happens to my status credits if i book business class for the full sequence to Brisbane, but get off in Rockhampton, and not take that final flight? It would save me $348 over the regular trip via Brisbane, so am keen to know.
