The Qantas Big Trip Sale - Fly to London and stopover in New York on the way home

[papermate92]

I saw this sale and was very intrigued.

My first thought was - Qantas flying transatlantic, that's huge news!
Second and more likely was that Qantas has a codeshare agreement with BA or AA LHR-JFK, still pretty exciting.

But to my surprise, neither are reality.

Qantas is encouraging a Melbourne - Dubai - London Heathrow - New York (JFK) (stopover) - Melbourne journey but not offering a QF flight number on the whole journey.

Just to clarify with everyone on this forum, as a result of the forthcoming enhancements, will I be "punished" for making the LHR-JFK journey vs a return via DXB?

The punitive SC thresholds don't apply to Europe-Nth America flights.

Does QF really not codeshare with anyone on LHR-JFK? If not, an AA flight number will be better than a BA flight number.

Pretty good to promote this kind of ticket.

OT - Always wondered whether HNL could've made a good hub to concentrate both NA and EU traffic.
