You got these via email, or are they generally available on the website?

Information came to me via email- didn't notice a hyperlink to a specific site.

[Must...Fly!]

Quite a good discount PER-MEL. Booking engine seems to be able to be tricked a bit too, I could get 30,000 return PER-ADL going via MEL on one leg.

I...don't...need...to...book...anything...already...going...for...Grand...Prix...

*slaps mouse hand*

*slaps hand reaching for credit card*

Hi, I'm Must...Fly!, and I have a problem...

There is no point tricking the booking engine to go via anywhere - no SC's or points to gain.

Ahh but there is a point...

Usually it's 36,000 + tax return PER-ADL.

Doing that little trick gave it out as 30,000 + tax, although I couldn't get it to do it for 24,000 + tax.

Ahh ok! I see your point now!

 

[JohnK]

It is a shame the value of QFF points for point to point international economy awards is quite poor even after the discount. SYD/MEL-SIN for 27,000 QFF points + ~AUD120 on what is essentially a ~AUD400 airfare.

There is no point tricking the booking engine to go via anywhere - no SC's or points to gain.

Aahh! But why go direct when you can connect? It gives the opportunity to visit other airports and spend more time in the lounges. Not a bad way to spend the day if you are bored and have nothing better to do.

Normally I would agree with you there.. but on a classic award you don't gain anything extra. But i see your point if you have a day to kill!!
