Of course, no mention of those who have already booked & paid.

In the T&C when you booked, of course no refund, same with CC fees. Would you expect a bill if fares/fuel charges increase again

Wow. I'm floored.

Wow-that suddenly makes QF points more valuable (if you can find availability)

EDIT: Doh!-confusing it with the award

As far as I can tell this is only applicable to commercial oneworld fares (circle and round the world products) ... Not award flights.
