you know i once heard that 1 point = 3 cents. That would make a trip to AKL $1080 plus taxes the qantas system is bogus. They need to decrease the points to fly. WE are all being taken for a ride.
I booked a Business Class Any Seat Award (aka JASA) which earns SC & ff points HNL/SYD/DRW for 72,000 points plus USD500.45 cash.
A paid airfare for the same flights would be USD8063.00 for a Business Sale fare or USD8732.00 for the regular Business Class fare. That works for me because I would never consider buying a full fare ticket for those sectors.
I don't see myself ever using points for an award ticket BNE/AKL/BNE because regular airfares are so cheap to buy particularly compared to HNL.
Only on mondays? I booked bne-akl retn at eccon for 36,000 points plus $300 in taxes how come your deal was so good?
Check out the thread below as there are some great examples of 'good deals' to be had:
