    Qantas ticket class visibility?

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    The only announcement I would like to see is that QF will follow the EU/UK 261 guidelines for QF and JQ flights which either depart from to arrive into Australian airports. Even if restricted to flights credited to a QFF account. I know..... Way too much wandering Fred
