That said, if you want the most bang for your buck (or I should say bang for your *miles*) then IMO you'll get far better value booking First with EK or CX than with QF. Better hard product, better service and better award space availability in F.
I just changed a F QF ticket to HBA a few weeks ago so its bookable- just operated on a 717 not by QF (QF coded). Sadly I don't think I can go...but its there as an option ^
