Direct flight
Hi all - I have some very specific queries re qantas frequent flyer. Today I have been mooching around looking at flights as I am about to book a RTW points ticket. What I am noticing is that the qantas website won't let you book direct flights. Have others found this.
For example, I am trying to book a flight Melbourne to Colombo as my first flight. When I put that search in it comes up with flights that go via HK or Sin etc etc. No Melbourne to Colombo flight comes up. However when I search for Sydney to Colombo for the very same time it comes up with a Syd to Mel and a Mel to Colombo direct flight!
I am finding the same when I try and fly from a number of places that a direct flight will not be offered. Is this some conspiracy for Qantas to try and put me off using my points because its all connecting flights or perhaps its making me spend more points for connecting flights?
Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks
