hey
i was just looking at a Perth to Dubai award booking on Qantas website and its 72,000 points return plus about $230AUD in taxes.
That seems really good considering its about 50,000 points + $468AUD taxes just to go PER-SIN return.
Is the Dubai award fare their normal price or is that some sort of special I stumble on thats not going to last?
I really don't think that this can be a special. In my view taxes for points flights is a relatively fixed amount, which depends only on a route.
