Ah, yes you're right - 22,000 vs 38,750.

If you have Amex membership rewards then it's around 20k BA Avios (which is the same currency as Qatar now) in business across to Perth from the east coast. One of the sweet spots on their award chart!

You can search it on QF, you just need to know how to get around the bugs. Adding a stop before DXB on the multi city usually will solve the problem.

Yeah this is a major bug on the website. Annoying it doesn't get fixed though selfishly it probably means fewer people redeem these seats. To fix this go to the multi-city tool and have your trip originate somewhere else - often London airports have reasonable availability, Amsterdam isn't bad...

One thing I don't understand - why do people who visit this thread regularly still seem to order the steak? It's very hard to get right even with the best execution (though have had good ones on SQ J and EK F before) but Qantas seem to do them particularly bad.

Okay John, submit your n=1 study to the New England Journal of Medicine, I’m sure they’ll be fascinated. Not sure why you’re adopting such an odd tone for a post that wasn’t addressed to you. I’m not concerned with what people do, just passing comment. If people want to wear an N95 to the...

If you have respiratory symptoms a properly fitted N95 should protect others around you; if you're worried about picking something up then the same applies for your personal protection. Of course on longer flights it becomes more of a challenge for eating/drinking etc but for the short domestic...

The arc still looks like it's going towards de-escalation. Iran really don't want a war, Israel's allies really don't want one either. Think Netanyahu and Ben Gvir could see advantages in a war but they're already on shaky terms with their allies. Granted sometimes we get war even when both...

Hmm...actually whilst I wouldn't redeem them I can see why some of those CR+ economy return awards might appeal to some. Bengaluru for 79k, Bali for 57k, Tokyo for 95k, LA for 92k...these are all quite competitive for flyers who don't mind sitting at the back of the plane. They're all likely...

Sure they're profitable (not sure how profitable they were) but Qantas extracts considerably more FF revenue per passenger than DL/UA/AA. This is from a Forbes article. It generates proportionally far more revenue than other airlines on this list if we ignore Southwest who aren't really...

Lots of comparisons to US airlines with major devaluations...but for those US airlines were their frequent flyer operations so profitable? QFF is a hugely profitable scheme for Qantas, for other airlines this might be a lot more marginal. There would be much less incentive to gut the program...

Really a lot of this hinges on what Qantas do with Classic Rewards. I'm not sure it makes much sense for them to severely curtail them. Remember QFF is a very profitable business for them, it's a very different situation to if it wasn't. We don't necessarily get a sense of that on this forum...

Trying to book two rooms in one booking on Qantas Hotels, doesn't give me the option? If I book two rooms separately but both under my name, will I get the points for both bookings? Does anyone know why this property isn't attracting bonus points when I check out? I know it's a bed and...

If you can churn 3-4 cards a year then Points Club Plus really is a great reward for hitting the 350k point mark. It's the only scheme where you get an extra reward for already extracting good value out of the program!

Non flying guest access removal is perfectly fair though. Would barely impact any members and would help reduce overcrowding to the extent it did. Any Seat awards were axed 10 years ago. LTP is an addition, albeit an unachievable one! So we're left with classic seat awards being less...
