Qantas replaces Emirates on most Trans Tasman flights

[Steady]

An F sale ex Australia started today. $1.089 one way.

These F fares aren't any good for double status credit offers... are they?

IIRC They did not include codeshare flights

Doesn't it depend on the T&C's of the specific promotion?

Yes. Although IIRC the last two did not include the EK flights

 

[eminere]

There was a recent bonus points (but not status credits) offer that specifically included EK-operated, QF-marketed trans-Tasman flights.

One of the previous DSC offers specifically included the QF coded EK Trans-Tasman flights, and a different DSC offer included the QF code AA TPAC flights

DSC or no I'm also on the party flight (in 3A)

Going over on the plane in the morning to make a day of it

should be a lot of fun! Glad to grab that sale (this one ends tonight) and when I saw the seats had opened up again for sale I grabbed it .

C;mon Poochie you know you want to!

Is everyone on the 407 to MEL?

 

[RichardMEL]

Well it leaves 435 to BNE open I guess, but MEL is the later departure (and I live there so.... )

 

[eminere]

Interestingly it's cheaper in AUD to book a return flight in F ex-Australia than just a one-way in NZD ex-AKL.

EK407 24/3/18 1A & 2A present and accounted for. If this is going to turn into a AFF thing...the clock is ticking for the sale.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

C;mon Poochie you know you want to!

Due to work I only have available Australia Day long weekend 2018 or Adelaide Cup long weekend 2018.
Probably will do it Australia Day.
MEL EK lounge visit only.

Thank you jetpack - I just booked a SYD-CHC-SYD status run in F for ~$2,100 return.

An F sale ex Australia started today. $1.089 one way.

The following is an excerpt from the terms and conditions of the non-targeted DSC offer which was open for bookings between 2 March and 6 March 2017:

'An Eligible Flight for the purpose of this promotion means any Qantas operated flight with a QF flight number on the ticket where Status Credits are normally earned, excluding Classic Flight Rewards and any flight with a QF flight number on the ticket which is not operated by Qantas including Jetstar, Jetstar Asia, Valuair, Jetstar Japan, Jetstar Pacific and other partner airlines except for a Qantas marketed flight operated by Emirates between Australia and New Zealand with the following flight numbers: QF8764, QF8763, QF8762, QF8761, QF8770, QF8771, QF8766, QF8765.'

I read that as saying the listed Emirates-operated trans-Tasman flights booked with a QF code are eligible for DSC. I hope I am right

I've booked for a status run on the 24th ex Melb. In 2k. Looking forward to meeting some fellow members. As my husband works in NZ for large chunks of the year, the F trips have been my indulgence for the last few years. I will miss them.

yes, I think they were not offering the F sale ex NZ.

In the (soon to be) good old days I'd book a J sale over and the F sale back as 2 one ways it could be quite a good SC run.

I'm in 2A on 406 on the way over. Icheers

Bummer looks like my long business days in Melbourne saw me miss the cheap F option.

I note could still do points over 54,000 and $131.... and ex-NZ 1273 which is like $117 cheaper than booking ex-Australia. Does say 5 or fewer seats left....

As of just now...
