Classic Lite proposal

[henrus]

I often do the Jetstar surveys as they contain interesting ideas being proposed. The latest survey has an interesting proposal where classic lite reward seats offered at a lower fixed rate compared to via the QF website.

It's an interesting concept and signals a possible tighter relationship between the QFF program and JQ.

I suspect what is listed as "taxes" is actually real taxes and QF carrier surcharge. So misleading.
What are the real taxes for MEL-SYD? [have not flown that route as a standalone flight for years]

Looks about right for real taxes to me (SYD-MEL). But an interesting concept that I would probably take advantage of.

I think about $25 are real taxes and about $10 carrier surcharges.

$10.48
Goods and Services Tax (GST)

So probably worth it for carry on only, but if you intend to take baggage, seems pointless as it comes up more expense as a classic reward via QF includes baggage.

Seems more like a lure to get people into paying more for ‘pay with points’ add ons which are a poor use of points, but more profitable to the business.

So does this mean Qantas charge Jetstar a Boling fee for FF redemptions and they are trying to avoid this,
