Q3: Given QF is a founding Member of OW, why do you penalise members for flying OW especially where QF has no flights i.e. International out of Perth or Adelaide?
A: Members have the ability to fly on Jetstar, oneworld and Qantas marketed Emirates operated services to/from Perth and Adelaide. In addition to these services, Qantas codeshares on services operated by China Southern to/from Perth. Minor changes applied to Status Credit earn were as a result of transitioning to a zonal framework. We introduced a new earn category on the Qantas and Jetstar earning table from 1 July 2014 that provides higher Status Credit earn rates for more flexible fares including a new earn category, Economy Saver. Members flying from Perth and Adelaide can earn more on Qantas marketed flights this way.
