I am trying to understand the taxes an charges when redeeming Qantas FF point on a partner airline. For example:
Using points to book from Melbourne to Singapore (one way) on 11/02/2015.
2 direct flights options are presented.
QF33 - 30,000 points + $242 taxes
JQ7 - 24,000 points + $197 taxes.
The problem I have was when I go to the Jetstar site and book the same flight
JQ7 - $140 + $77 taxes
Why are the taxes higher just because I am redeeming points?
