They have updated their website to reflect the new policy. I think it is great. Unfortunately they don't really tell u how many points required, or they don't have a online calculator to work out how many points required for "non-redemption" seats. I guess it won't be cheap but at least it gives u the option to actually burn your points rather than leave your points to dust like a lot of QFF members.
Surely now they should advertise this feature to differentiate themselves from Qantas.
Now all they need to do is to join *A ...... Oh well probably not for a long time.
