    "Each eligible customer may purchase ONE (1) individual adult Economy Class round-trip ticket."

    Wtf kind of rule is that - this is the exact reason I won't bother with this deal. No guarantee you'll get 2 seats on the same plane with how popular this deal is seeming to be.

    I don't want to be locked into a flight and my wife can't travel on that because she's slower and booking her tickets or something.

    • MELso on 16/05/2023 - 11:35

      No restriction on how many full fare tickets you can buy I'd imagine, and seat selection is included on the 'freebie', but paying full whack for a second ticket kinda defeats the point…

    • nightelves on 19/05/2023 - 15:02
      +1

      It's to prevent booking agents from mass booking. If they allowed what you just describe you'll be complaining that it's unfair system. Either way there will be people displeased with this deal whichever way they design it for.

      • jaygee on 19/05/2023 - 15:06

        I feel like 2 tickets is the universal standard for these kinds of things anyways.

          Then you have families complaining it ain't fair because their children might miss out.

            @nightelves: Universal 2 tickets is the norm for most competitions. I don't get why that's a difficult concept to get.

              @jaygee: What's stopping you from getting 4 tickets between the two of you. One membership gives you two ticket, the other membership give you another two. At least with one ticket it's fair for everyone.

              • jaygee on 19/05/2023 - 15:31

                @nightelves:

                What's stopping you from getting 4 tickets between the two of you

                Nothing if you can get INTO the competion. Chances of you travelling on the same plane or day will be close to impossible.

                I might as well ask whats to stop you from getting 8 tickets between the 8 of you have 8 computers and 8 people? What's the stop 100 people in a room getting 100 tickets between 100 people??

                If you want to travel alone go for it, but most people do want to travel with someone else.

        • CodeXD on 19/05/2023 - 15:08

          ^ maximum 2 tickets per account would make the promo so much better

          Just the option of buying 1 or 2 tickets will open it up to allow couples or friends to travel together.

          People will always complain, but at least with 2 tickets, it is not only targeting solo travelers.

          • nightelves on 19/05/2023 - 15:11

      More departure points (4 State capitals Cathay fly out of) than in most discount flight Deals!

    Any way to use this for a one way flight? If the taxes and surcharges are refundable but they're the only part we pay, could I fly to HK, cancel the return and get a refund for it?

    I want to go to Macau and Manila, as an open ended trip.

    • zoecot on 18/05/2023 - 10:36

      ya, I was wondering the same too~ I just want a one way instead of return. Wonder what will happen if I fly the first leg and cancel the return flight.

    • RTY on 29/05/2023 - 14:17

      Did you find the answer? Was thinking giving up the second leg too, but booked too quickly to see the cancellation term.

    Surely Brisbane airport taxes isn’t $150 more expensive than the others? If so, what a rip off

    why is Brisbane most expensive, it's the closest?!

    • MELso on 16/05/2023 - 21:52

      Looking at the breakdown of the fees and charges on a dummy booking, the fuel surcharge is the same as out of MEL (despite being a bit closer, highlighting what a load of BS such surcharges are) at $356.40, but taxes are $193.12 (v $170.50 for MEL) so a lot less than the heading suggests (probably about $549).

      Been to hong kong multiple times and Shanghai and Beijing, South Korea and Japan. I have never had an issue and the police there are always helpful when asking for directions. This is a bargain not a political post. You sound exactly like the parrots in the media, go learn for yourself instead of repeating what you hear on mainstream news as your form of traveling.

    Is it really worth time + the possibility of not getting 2 people on the same flight? Theres still CX availability via QF rewards for the dates I'm looking at… and it costs the same $ tax amount but additional 60k points pp…

        Married couples I've know who take separate holidays, totally enjoy their break (from each other)!

        Each can follow their own different interests. Giving their children time with 1 parent - strengthening that bond. They all follow what the other is doing in their own favourite locations. Getting to know each other better.

        Much easier on work commitments - it can be hard & stressful organising time off, at exactly the same time.

        They say time apart keeps their relationship alive! There is no need to do what their partner wants - no arguments or compromises. It's their time, their break! Coming back refreshed & alive. Looking forward to spend time with their partner.

  • AircraftFreight on 25/05/2023 - 19:50

    Will hop on this deal, then use QFF'ers to get to Paris to London in hopefully a First Classic Reward. Got all my dates ready to goooo!
    Then try to merge all sectors across both tickets but might be an issue considering they wont be the same issuing e-ticker (081 vs 160)

    • evgpek on 26/05/2023 - 05:56

      What are benefits of merging?

      • AussieMark on 29/05/2023 - 07:37
        -4

        Merging can increase strength and power but at the cost of mobility

        For example if husband and wife merge, two will become one and a power ratio of 2:1 will be achieved.

        However if both want to run in opposite directions then 0 power and movement will occur.

        Hope this helps
