It just seems like such a change,, not a slight one but a major one, all so it fits exactly the same as EK.

You are right we can choose to fly BA, only to SYD and buy extra bags. I just liked Qantas how you could buy an extra bag like BA and a lot of US carriers.

I am aware that QF is a business, but I only like to do business with people who I dont feel are cheating me. If I have to pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for 1 extra suitcase then I feel cheated as If I pay a reasonable fee for a suitcase I feel that its fair. I would like to know the real cost of a bag on a flight. I cant imagine it costs qantas that much to carry the bag. In my opinion they should charge a fee for the bag based on their costs and not trying to make extortionate rates of profits that make a customer feel cheated. I dont mind paying anything reasonable, it just seems crazy. People will be scared to go shopping on holiday incase their bags weigh more.
