He asked a very clear and reasonable question - criticising him for not providing information that was not needed to answer the question he asked : come on
But the OP could have prevented that by saying WHY they wanted information on QF flights, so as to give those who could answer them some background in order to answer the question.
In this game, you can't give TOO much information, those who know will sift out the irrelevant stuff.
As an example, by commenting on the cheap EK deal, someone might have neglected to mention a deal that was more expensive on QF, but cheaper than what the OP was quoting, from somewhere else, since the emphasis was on price. If the need to be on QF was mentioned earlier, it would have made them aware of this, and responded accordingly.
