I am just waiting to see what they (Qantas) do to their FF system.
I have made bookings for flights, several times from AU to NZ, and some flights within AU in subclasses of J, and some in subclasses of Y, up to a total of 515 SC, enough for Silver and also enough for that 500 SC to get 8000 QFF points.
I am not sure, to look forward positively, or negatively, in regards to when and/if QFF gets sold off.
Hopefully it won't happen till 2016.
