If so, looks like a good way to earn SP based on pricing out future flights and the difference if paying when booking:
- more expensive flight: 63SP for the works, 52SP for seat only = 11SP for $40
- cheaper flight: 32SP for the works, 24SP for seat only = 8SP for $40

Thanks for the input experts!
Yes you’ll earn more, as per the online calculator

Annoyingly, there is no additional SP/$AP earn if buying a TT Flexi over TT Works. Quite different to domestic flights… 🤷‍♂️
