      I mean, great deal if it was in July or August. Jan and Feb though?

        Broome in Summer….delicious 😞 After my experience with them the last 2 years…Qantas can SMD!

        • greennick on 29/11/2022 - 12:35

          I have to fly a bit for work, every flight is rammed and they are all expensive. If they are not careful, another player will enter the market as there is money to be made for a new entrant.

        Wow - right in the middle of wet season.

    Perth to east coast would have been good… or anywhere interstate

    • nickj on 29/11/2022 - 14:06

      Yeah, Syd/Mel/Bris <-> Perth, and Syd/Mel/Bris <-> Broome/Darwin would have been great.
      I would have enjoyed a summer holiday triangle circuit, along the lines of: east coast city -> Broome/Darwin -> Perth -> east coast city ; just as much as the Perth folks would have liked somewhere beyond WA.
      Instead Perth gets Broome, and the east coast cities get places like the Gold Coast. At a certain point you just want something different and a bit further afield. It's like Qantas are trying to wear us down with boredom.

    12,000 points + $55 to hamilton island one way from sydney; that's ~$240 worth of points @ 0.02c each; and $55 taxes = $295 one way…I don't see a deal unfortunately

      For example, on 9th Jan, Qantas is charging $746 for that flight. You are getting 5.7c of value for each point. Some would say that is outstanding value.

    Ditch the points planes. Put these 8,000 rewards seats on business class redemptions on international routes. Give your customers what they want QF!!!!

    • Poolprouk on 29/11/2022 - 13:05

      I'm not being literal when I say ditch by the way, not a good idea that.

    Beware:

    Qantas will cancel flights without any reason whatsoever.

    We had business class flights booked from CBR to DOH first the Canberra to Melbourne leg was cancelled without refund.

    We arranged replacement flights with virgin, then they cancelled MEL to Doha no explanation, no alternative flights. Cost me $900 with no explanation whatsoever

    • Birdyzone on 29/11/2022 - 15:20

      Qantas has never flown to Doha. It’s a code share with Qatar. Your issue is with Qatar cancelling flights.

        Unfortunately people don't seem to ever understand this.

      • Tony-Abbott on 29/11/2022 - 16:08

        It's not even a codeshare, QF don't codeshare with QR.

        • Moo Deng on 29/11/2022 - 22:08

          There have been issues with Qantas not ticketing Qatar flight changes in time, hence the bookings being cancelled

  • spendy on 29/11/2022 - 19:02

    Perth - Broome. Yeah nah

  • Nalar on 29/11/2022 - 21:26

    Is a 1 way economy trip for 12000 $36 good spend of points? Cheapest virgin for same time and route is $255 and Qantas wants $289 cash.

    • nickj on 01/12/2022 - 16:01

      Yes, it's reasonable value. Personally, I used to aim for 1.2 cents or more of value from every QFF point (when comparing against the option of paying cash for the same thing, and of course assuming I want that thing), but since the pandemic (and seeing how quickly points can become unusable, or worthless if an airline goes broke) I have reduced that a bit, and I'm now happy with 1.0 cents or more.

      Say you were happy with the virgin fare, then your cheapest options are:
      * Pay $255 cash to virgin, or
      * Pay $36 cash to Qantas + 12,000 points, which values the points at (255-36)/12000 = 1.825 cents per point.

      Since that's less 1.0 cent per point, personally, I would totally pick that option as the better value. And if business classic reward seats were available, I would seriously consider that option for twice the points, as for an additional $120 worth of points you get pre-flight lounge access + bigger seat + food & alcohol.

    For those that want an international deal, there heaps of flights from Brisbane to Singapore business for 68,400 points + $263 one way direct on Qantas. Seeing availabilities almost daily between Jan 15-March 23 and April 18-June 7 and some other random dates. Could possibly fly on to other places (Europe) from there. Haven't checked from other cities though.

    Joyce really does take the cake for putting short term profits way above customer service.

  • jrvb42 on 30/11/2022 - 08:48

    Let's look at the first one. Adl-ool for 12k pts + $79 taxes.
    This is normally on sale for around $129 on jet*. So that means you're using 12000pt for $50!
    Honestly, this is a rip-off. Go buy gift cards with the points, cos it's better value.
    QFF points seldom worth more than 0.5c.
    Yes, the fare I quoted was a sale fare, just as these point planes are sales of points seats, nothing more.
