    Qantas points for flights is a rip off

    you know i once heard that 1 point = 3 cents. That would make a trip to AKL $1080 plus taxes the qantas system is bogus. They need to decrease the points to fly. WE are all being taken for a ride.

    generous Qantas gift (Lounge voucher for a silver member)

    You mean when i had to spend the night on a seat in MEL because i could not get a direct flight from PER-BNE. No sleeping at a airport from 12:00 to 4:00am is not much of an inconvenience. You mean mean when i finally got home I was again inconvenienced and had to go to AKL with vigin on the Sunday.
