LOL :mrgreen:

I think I'll be trying to get on one of their A330's across to Perth next year.

Now that's a great idea!

My understanding is that there is a huge number of extra destinations available under the DJ scheme when compared to the QF options.

From MEL with QF I could go to ADL, CBR, SYD or BNE. With DJ I can go to these plus a whole bunch more incl DRW.

I wonder if SYD-ADL routed via MEL will be ticketed. 4 x QF sectors and hopefully with the SCs and QFF points. Fares are not that diff...$252 v. $215 ow, looking at Sat, Sep 25.

I don't think so as they always were on the cheapest classes. They may let you pay the difference though.

Got it. I may give it a shot though with Amex.

This is the link to free flights...most likely seen by most of you already. I saw this and the hotel list for the first time tonight. A flight with accommodation for a night would have been a good promotion and value for the Amex fee (or, at least the charge card fee).

Can't understand it though there may be some logic to it...in the matrix, Darwin to Sydney and also Perth to Sydney but not in the other direction. :?:

When this was first introduced Sydney (& Melbourne) to Perth was an option but maybe it was too expensive as it did not last foe long.

Wouldn't be any more expensive than doing it ex-PER .. it was more so that they could get away with it by not doing so citing that people on the east coast had a "much broader range" of destinations, and perhaps they were destinations that were more likely to be visited:!: :shock:
