Qantas to make big FF announcement on 24/5/22 [buys stake in TripADeal]

Tripadeal. 2.9 stars on google. Seems about right for qantas customer service.

A merger of equals!

The announcement is a new partnership with (and a 51% stake in) TripADeal

After the deal with TripADeal, it's goodbye/buy to Helloworld:

and the idea of booking packages for holidays is soooo last century for most travellers who have an ounce of intelligence.

Beats me why anyone needs a travel agent like this anymore.

Perhaps someone can enlighten me?

Worth noting the upcoming points discount next month:

During July 2024, Qantas members will also receive a 30 per cent discount on bookings made with points, representing some of the best value for points across the Frequent Flyer program.
