I will more than likely not find out the answer but this has me intrigued.
Trying to book a BNE-BKK return in September and hoping to use gift voucher but that appears near impossible unless I accept poor flight selections.
Using return flight option BNE-SYD-BKK-SYD-BNE prices at ~$780 but available flights are very limited with Jetstar flights taking up 5 of the 10 flights on display for each sector. Outbound a very early flight connecting with early QF23 and then same on return on QF24 and only 2 early connections to BNE. If I want the outbound Emirates flights it costs ~$100 extra.
Trying multi-city booking and I can do BNE-SYD on Tuesday night, QF23 or EK flight on Wednesday and then return on Saturday the week after on QF24 and get here Sunday morning and choose any SYD-BNE flight on Sunday. How much you ask? A whopping $788! Why?
I really do not understand the limitations of the Qantas website. I know we have said this many times by why clutter the flights selections with Jetstar flights? Don't put stumbling blocks in front of people.
And silly me had almost the same itinerary on Expedia New Zealand last night ~$100 cheaper with 1 night hotel included and now it is gone. Cheap flights available on Expedia today are very limited. Is Qantas trying to sabotage its' own business?
