Hi there people, excuse me if this mentioned somewhere else but I couldn't find the required info. Last week I booked flights for myself, wife and son all on points- see below
SYD-SFO PE
SFO-SYD J
SYD-SFO PE cost me 216,000 points and SFO-SYD J cost me 288,000 points. I checked today on the QF calculator about upgrading from PE award to J SYD-SFO and the calculator shows 67,500 each ticket. That to me seems totally illogical as I've already used 216K then would need to use another 202k to get J (418K total for 3 people if I upgraded) when the 3 J awards cost me 288K outright on the second flight. I know this is a 1st world problem but I'd love to know the reasoning behind this. (don't even get me started on the taxes I paid)
Thanks, Dmitri
