There's a new offer on now, until 30 June: https://www.finnairshop.com/en/buy-avios Buy 75,000 Avios or more to get a 40% discount. This almost brings the price down to what you'd pay if you had a Finnair Avios subscription for the higher Avios amounts. You need to have been a Finnair Plus...

It is possible. The seats will appear on the Qantas website if you search for Classic Rewards and there is availability. There isn't a heap of business class availability on this route but there is some. E.g. I found this using Seats.aero:

I stopped putting valuables in the seat pocket after I accidentally left them there after a flight!

Qantas recently added its QF code to Air Tahiti Nui's Papeete-Seattle route. This is the third QF codeshare route operated by Air Tahiti Nui after AKL-PPT and PPT-LAX. With the way the QF/TN agreement is set up, this means you can now redeem Qantas points to fly PPT-SEA on Air Tahiti Nui...

Classic Reward availability does exist on other routes, but the inventory seems to be very limited. Here are a few examples I found... RAR-HNL v.v. has good availability.

This one "only" earns 320 SCs but includes some better aircraft (3 of 4 flights are on 787s) and a couple of leisurely visits between flights to the F lounge in Sydney if you're Platinum, or to the J lounge otherwise. FWIW Air NZ is basically matching this J fare on its direct AKL-PER flight as...

It would be the best bonus that I can remember. If I would actually be able to access it 😂

This month's deals are now available. Can get 30% off J awards from PER, BNE, CNS and ADL to SIN, for travel on various dates in July.

I've had mixed experiences on Qantas from Asia. I do recall flying SQ in Y though on SQ231 to Sydney, the 0045 departure from Singapore. Breakfast was served a full 3 hours before landing. Crazy.

Do you know if they felt it was worth the effort for 50,000 points? And do you know which cabin they were flying in?

I’m hearing the first A321XLR will arrive in Sydney on 2 July.

I'm also not seeing this when I log into the "buy miles" portal. No sign of a bonus, and the miles are all full price.

It always confuses (and annoys) me when airlines run a drawn out dinner service, then serve breakfast 3 hours before landing, on a 6-8 hour overnight flight. This leaves barely a couple of hours to actually sleep.

I wouldn't normally link to the PPRuNe forum, but I found these two threads absolutely fascinating. They detail the experience of a contract-based captain, from the UK I think, who spent six months flying for the national airline of Yemen, based in Aden, and 10 months flying for Afghan airline...

The question was about status credits, not comfort 😂 ;)

BNE-MEL-DPS return for $2499 in J isn't too shabby. Earns 360 SC.
