The ability to search for all business class reward flights without the stupid long leg being "your flight from X to Y will be in Economy"

Totally My pet hate it can be so annoying after finding the correct route then in the final stages the only J class is from Melbourne to Sydney. The selection was business class not part business or majority in economy sucker ...... Or The rest of your flight to Europe is economy except LHR to TXL that's in J . Eyes rolling

Yes! When this enhancement was first introduced it was promoted as the short hop in Economy and the long haul in Business which I would be relatively happy to book.

How naive of me! Being in Perth, I try to book US flights from Melbourne or Sydney. But no, the mongrel system then shows Melbourne to Sydney (or vice versa) in J and then the Pacific flight in Y.

What surprises me is that Qantas would want to piss off FFers this way.

QF are well aware of this. It has been happening for a number of years now and they do it as they can by their T&C's. They have made the exclamation more prominent.

I don't get why if they are able offer mixed-class redemptions, why they cannot offer mixed-class paid redemptions online.
 
It does make the search of award flights longer.

Im not sure that it is even legal under ACCC rules. Like saying "Sale on - up to 80% off" so you go into shop and find out the 80% off is on a $2 item up the back of the store and everything else is not on sale or limited discount.

It makes you think that there are premium seats when there are not. And entices you into the "shop"


Qantas should redesign it so they only advertise premium award availability if the longest sector is premium, otherwise it is advertised as Y classic award.


Currently, I look out for it and am fully aware of their trap

Many are not so lucky. It took me ages before I got myself properly educated on this trick. If your in a hurry who's laughing all the way to the bank........? The airline in question

I also don't understand from a cost perspective, like not having more one world partners on site.

Just means more call centre calls and I doubt the booking fee fully covers all the costs involved given I suspect most calls are 20min plus
