Useful: Philippine Airlines Now Bookable With Qantas Points

Makes sense the points are higher, as they are a partner award.

A bit odd that the PR fuel fines are more than QF's. Might be a sign of the current times, but still odd. Overall, looking at the same BNE-MNL sector I randomly searched, if I had a choice between PR Y or QF Y, notwithstanding my status I'd probably take QF Y for the lower cost overall. PR's product wouldn't be vastly superior compared to QF.

As a QF WP flying whY, the obvious choice would be QF for lounge access and other perks. Booking PR whY, you’d get zero.

If the PR dom flights come thru, you should still be able to book them on one ticket QF->PR?

It is odd, but I would note that PE also has the same fuel fines (and thus copayment). Not sure on J as I'm yet to actually find an example...

You might be onto something there. So much for the article's claim of, "Economy, Premium Economy and Business".

This was the info provided by Qantas unfortunately. Not going to say definitively otherwise, but it's very odd that there's no J to be found.

LL also mentions not seeing any J seats but did show an example using Avios via QR.

But he doesn’t show the fuel fines.

Perhaps giving preference to QR at this stage?
Good J availability to HNL and LAX and some Asian ports with Avios
Some smatterings of Australian availability too

It would be interesting to know if that availability was there on Day 1 or came later? Probably have to go back to some of the bloggers etc to see what they said when the QR partnership started.
