J is now officially definitely the new F
Consider the Senate submission folk who worked hard, spent cash and discovered they couldn’t find a seat after all those years of putting FF points into their QFF account
Now
They discovered they can score a seat - at twice the price!
So back to square one
Points are a bit like stranded assets. “You may as well use to ‘em to get rid of ‘em cause otherwise they’ll go to waste.”
So if instead you are forced to cough up the cash then you may as well shop elsewhere - on some of the J offerings to Europe QF are twice the price of their competitors. They have historically around 15% of international PAX
On the domestic side, since August 23, QF have cut down their excessive dom J fare prices (REX / VA have pushed QF alongside the very likely scenario that business travel per se has been significantly affected by Work from Home. Zoom in and it’s done in an hour or two.)
Get on a
it’s vastly more expensive for the business and soaks a lot of extra time that can be freed up to do other activities
Most Australians know a fair deal and thus domestic travel on points will likely be where they redirect their points spend - after all does one really need more than a seat on the fast bus
?
Even 7 has now thought nyet
PS those of us “in the know” will get to find the “sweet spots” and adjust our spending points earning and points redemption to suit the “new scenario”
