    Confused about prices/points amount difference

    Ours have all ticketed and we merely bought at the advertised (sale?) price, so I think we're golden.

    QF 192k point award assistance

    I learnt something, anyway. It compares the higher zone cost of 108k with 90k + 16k and then gives you the latter. Then if you add on another valid leg, it moves you back to zone-based pricing:

    And (a) (ii) seems to be relevant here too.

    QF 192k point award assistance

    I think it was the last part of this: "Trip" means a series of one or more consecutive Flight Segments within an Itinerary: (a) that does not include: (i) a Stopover; or (ii) a Flight Segment whose arrival city is the same as the departure city of any other Flight Segment in that series (in...

    QF 192k point award assistance

    Not an issue for itineraries consisting solely of EK and QF (and AA), though.

    QF 192k point award assistance

    HKG-BKK-SYD-DXB works for 192k. Beyond that I'd say it's some sort of an issue with all the domestic legs.

    Multi City Classic Award starting overseas?

    If you're spending time in Japan, is there any advantage to booking in all on one itinerary?

    QF 192k point award assistance

    I wasn't familiar with the BKK-SYD route, but now I see it's a distance-related thing. AND, it would appear the system is trying to help you. Instead of pushing you up to the next award category of 108k when it puts the trip together step by step, it recognises that 90k + 16k would be cheaper...

    QF 192k point award assistance

    I'm not sure why, but I have found that connections within Australia can be treated a bit differently. It might be related to the search engine not throwing BKK-SYD-BNE up as a natural option, but needing it to be forced via multi-city. For example, this prices as 90k + 16k despite having a...

    QF 192k point award assistance

    148k isn't a standard category, so I'm thinking something hasn't been treated as a stopover there, possibly because you're departing Sydney twice. One possibility is that it's effectively been priced as 108k for HKG-BKK-SYD and then 16k for SYD-BNE and 24k for BNE-SYD-MEL. So you're not getting...

    No kidding. Would you rather we kept it to ourselves?

    Qantas Award Charges Outrageous

    And those of you whining about costs might like to take up this opportunity to combine the "outrageous" charges with a two-thirds point discount: http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/confused-about-prices-points-amount-74257.html

    Qantas Award Charges Outrageous

    Couldn't agree more. (Well, I disagree slightly with the valuation if you would never pay the full price, but still...) I don't think there's any realistic prospect of Qantas suddenly taking an award that costs (say) 72,000 points + $500, and making it 72,000 points only. We will just have the...

    Why does QF penny-pinch so much on domestic J catering?

    That said, I have also been disappointed with the standard on my past four or five (scumbag-peasant-points-using) domestic J flights.

    Qantas is refunding change fees (and potentially CC fees) on recent purchases
