My last trip (first ever trip to China) I was expecting SC's from the Cathay legs as they are a OneWorld member and I booked the ticket on the QF website - and got nothing for the outbound to Shanghai or the return back to Hong Kong - slightly annoyed to say the least! Fortunately I got DSC for the legs on Qantas metal, and this next trip in a couple of weeks will see me retain Gold for the year with a little under six months to go.Inchresting....
Unable to figure out what my class code is for my booking last year, but I got 10 when I was expecting nothing ;3;
It's a lesson many QF flyers learn about airline booking class. (And its not just limited to CX).My last trip (first ever trip to China) I was expecting SC's from the Cathay legs as they are a OneWorld member and I booked the ticket on the QF website - and got nothing for the outbound to Shanghai or the return back to Hong Kong - slightly annoyed to say the least!

Agree however in the past you could build quite complex itineraries that don't necessarily display like the above, I've done things like BNE-SYD-MEL-HBA by building them in the old search engine and it priced as a single award, or even more crazy routings. You can also spend a whole day in Canberra using the old multi city tool, the above will show the much shorter connections usually.

Never trust that calculator. It can and most certainly will get it wrong.Interesting...
Was this a multi-city booking?
Qantas is showing this booking receiving 110SC (the same booking I did last year), despite being on a Multi-City Sale fare. I'd expect to receive less if CX was valued at 0.
That's interesting because I was credited 110SCs for that exact same trip the start of this year. Maybe I just got away with it then ig...Never trust that calculator. It can and most certainly will get it wrong.
Anyone have suggestions for travel agents who are DSC savvy? I've got 2 international trips to book and wouldn't say no to some extra stopovers etc to bump up the SC. @madrooster ? Others?
I was also having issues using it. It worked smoothly for one trip but not for another. It was only after the price went up by ~$300 did it start working again (hmm, suspicious).The multi-leg rarely works as it should - it has been a bit of a joke for years.
