I noticed an anomaly when checking Jetstar classic reward availalability on the QANTAS web site. Although a Jetstar classic reward between Denpasar and Sydey should only cost 18000 points one-way. But if you look at DPS-SYD direct for the 21st of November, it is 20300 points one-way.
Also, I noticed a difference in the carrier fees and taxes comparing one direction to another. SYD-DPS is $35 carrier charges + $93 taxes, whereas DPS-SYD is $60 carrier charges + $32 taxes.
I took a screenshot to verify. Then I went to select the departing flight, and now it appears to have changed. But this shouldn't be the case. The points cost, carrier charges, and taxes are the same regardless of one-way vs return. Is this a bug? Are they testing to see if one might pay a higher price point than promised? Or something else entirely?
