Up to $800 off Qantas flights to Paris

[Mattg]

I got this email today, marked as an "exclusive cardholder offer" - presumably because I have a Qantas points-earning credit card:

Merci Matt!

Interesting, are forward loads struggling?

Looks like many of us may be be getting that exclusive offer:

Held the QF Titanium card for a few months now, but didn't get targeted

Helps explain why the recent batch of award seats included flights to CDG.

Interesting that for the dates I had a Quick Look at SYD-CDG return was just under $12k before the discount whereas ADL-SYD-CDG return was just over $10k before discount. Not a bad deal ex ADL

Surely with QR doubling its Aussie flights essentially overnight this is starting to bite across the market.

QF may know those who will usually pay top dollar.

Might entice a few out of Adelaide.

From the fine print:
Offer excludes Qantas Premier Titanium credit cardholders and Qantas Business Reward cardholders.

That's probably because it would be ADL-SYD-PER-CDG, so it is 2 stops. The Croweaters could fly 1 stop via SIN/DXB/DOH instead, less hassle, and not to mention avoid the dreaded D-I Terminal transfer in SYD .....

Same price for ADL-PER-CDG return.
If I was to fly QF that would be the way I’d go. No way am I going through the SYD hassle.

QR is about $11k so I’d have to consider if around the $2k per pax saving is worth it over QSuites all the way, Al Safwa access and a stopover in the fantastic Doha

If you can already pay $10K for a flight, why would you spend so much for a mediocre J rather than pay 10% more for a Premium J with much better food, seat, service, better transit airport and lounge (and you can choose between SQ, QR, EK)?
