I know it wont make much difference but did the JQ paid fare include baggage?

This is why you should spend your points wisely.

That's the Qantas Group looking after all of us!

Points burn on JQ is remarkably woeful even with a 20% discount of classics, its not unusual to see their YASAs dearer than a QF JASA.

I sort of guessed this thread would have been about JQ when I saw the 48,000 points return to BKK!

I feel sorry for them but there must be people who think they are getting a great deal for their points....

Maybe this is missing ingredient why JQi is profitable and QFi is leaking losses left, right and centre.
