    Qantas has better planes for SYD than MEL for same destinations?

    Two words .... Supply .... Demand If there was demand for an A330 sized aircraft on MEL-DPS, then ... well, QF would probably push the MEL passengers to JQ as they considered it a leisure route 🤷‍♂️

    Yes, but if you make changes after the new rates come into play, it will likely cause the "fare" to be recalculated at the new rate with additional points and any adjustment in taxes/charges to be to paid.
