    I think you'll find the correct term is "tax-exempt". "Tax-free" refers to a portion of your balance.

    QF Double Status Credits February 2026 Promo

    I don't think there is a maximum in the T&Cs however, in practice, availability and MCT does restrict what's doable . I've successfully put 3 then 4 segments per day on consecutive days: CHC-MEL-SYD-BNE BNE-SYD-MEL-SYD-OOL I tried to add more by going via PER, DRW, ADL, etc., but couldn't make...

    And where it goes...the new IST airport has a train but I understand you to change a number of times to get to the city . Couldn't get that wrong in MEL, or could they ?
