Those booked before 29th March at the old rates, those booked after 29th March at the new points and SC rates for revenue fare classes.
ASA's will be unavailable to book from 30th June.
This is exactly how it was explained to me yesterday by the helpful lady at Qantas: it's actually great for me because on the way home (in July) I end up earning almost 2000 more miles (SC exactly the same) than on the way over at the end of June. And more miles on the NZ trip too: I had 100,000 miles to spend and wanted to use them up before they devalue the spend part of the programme as well - so this neat trick you all taught me was SO helpful: I spent a little over $800 and all my points, and booked 4 x J fares which will go some way to helping me retain Gold both this year and next. So again, thanks. And if you have any upcoming trips, this is a good way to go!
