    The result: I got $100 cash refunded. Seemed fair. Also out of interest my return flight from Manchester to the middle east was delayed, then cancelled and I was put on a coach to catch a replacement from Heathrow ( instead of Manchester ). Put up in a nice hotel in the middle east with...

    Confusion Earning Qantas Points on Qatar

    Thx. If I'm reading the AA table correctly AA members earn some miles in Q on Qatar unlike Qantas FF. I'm curious in economy does anyone actually pay more than the cheapest fare (unless you fly for work) as paying maybe 30% more for same seat just to earn points seems a non starter.lol.
