    JAL domestic SC earn

    Makes sense. But what if you book an advance F fare on the JAL website (i.e. search for first class only), does QF still recognise that as a discounted Y + F surcharge?

    JAL domestic SC earn

    Hi all, I inderstand this topic has come up before and as discussed previously and per the QF earn table, the main determinant of the SC earn is whether the underlying economy class fare booked is a discounted fare or a flex. Looking at doing a few domestic sectors in JP in September, there...
