Here is the qantas comparison for the itinerary (hopefully no errors). The first column is discount economy, then full Y, then business, theen first (where available). Shows how stingy the qantas system is especially when you travel discount economy. Given that if you flew the whole of this in discount you do not receive enough tier credits even for ruby (9 points short). The points required for tier status are 350 for blue/ruby, 700 for silver and 1700 for gold. Also noting that 4 sectors must be on qantas planes for you to get the status.
