Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

I was trying to maximise my double status credits… and don’t know if it’s a good deal but I got a return to Cairns from Sydney for just over $1600 in Business with 160 SC giving me 320 not a bad deal…just sharing.

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;

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.

It's a lesson many QF flyers learn about airline booking class. (And its not just limited to CX).

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.

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.

Never trust that calculator. It can and most certainly will get it wrong.

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...

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?

Sure, feel free to message me

The multi-leg rarely works as it should - it has been a bit of a joke for years.

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).

2 silly questions:
1) All flights booked via the Multi-city tool, when it decides to work, should be subject to the DSCs and not just the one-way/return flights?
2) Even though the number of SCs that show up prior to payment is the standard amount, the DSCs should come through as a separate transaction?
(This is the first time that I've purchased flights during a DSC sale - I'm trying to make sure that I'm not making any assumptions. I'm excited and am hoping for the best once the flights occur next year - I should have enough to almost get me to WP.)
