I have been a frequent user of ASA and have now come up against the problem of getting two seats on the one flight internationally. Jo'burg to Perth Business 1 fare 80,000 but 2 flying the fare goes to 400,000 points each. This is common regardless of dates chosen. So end result my wife flies SA direct to Perth on 80,000 and on the same day I fly QANTAS to Sydney . Brisbane and return to Perth on separate leg to get ASA at a reasonable price. So that sorted the May Flights.
I am now attempting to book ASA to Santiago. Same issue no matter what date - 1 person fly cheap (points) but more than 1 price quadruples in points. This is the first time I have come across this "pricing" game.
Is this a new proposition by QANTAS to accommodate the single traveler but not partners? We are both Platinum - but will now have to review the whole FF thing when we can use Singapore without any status and always get 1st & Business flights together.
Anyone else suffering with the new single ticket issue?
