interesting that is obviously ranked around some sort of demand pricing and movable rather than fixed alternative option, points wise.

indeed but if you paid $4-5000 and ended up in EK non 380 business you would be spewing

I assume all this is going to have zero impact on the crazy $ costs of booking EK flights on rewards

Dont forget viewing the surcharge as a business expense and therefore 'not really a cost' which some people view that as

Jetstar but CR ?

As someone with alot of points but low status due to infrequency of travel I can tell you I basically never see Qantas as an option to me for international travel

If they want to add in a 'bad value' cash in of points to bleed out people who amassed a load of points, want 'ease' of access to first / business then fair enough. If they mess with the standard (albeit harder to get exactly what/when you want) usage of points i'll move away from the program...

Is this confirmed? no change in point rates for using partner airlines?

bit random but any idea if I can access EK lounge in SIN if i'm flying with BA?

so, one is EK (see entire thread) one is AA, you found ONE, congrats, cough ?

Yea unfortunately i'm a bit of an infrequent flier, i chase points to basically ensure I dont have to do economy when I travel back to uk every year / every other year. So i'm only reward seats, only QF points.

dont see much else F for EU to AU unless i'm looking at the wrong routes

Yea this was my finding aswell, starting in EU is not a big saving, leaving from AMS or CDG was still 1000 euro

Seeing more of EU to AU flights on EK for rewards but my WORD the carrier charges have hiked again i'm sure, 1,200 GBP one way in business???

I always say, qantas points not qantas metal. I do use their flights but only when i absolutely have to, rather go to a diff airline where at least i'm on an even keel with the status game.
