It is correct that Bus / First pay more tax on a multiple class plane - I agree. BUT as Concorde is a single class plane, the lower level of tax applies. It wouldn't surprise me if the QF award peoiple have been getting this wrong as it is being booked as a First Class award.

So would the remedy for this situation be to book the reward directly with QF in London? Everyone that I have heard from on here has been paying the higher tax rate.

Additionally, if the arriving flight is Concorde, with a stopover, onward in Club Europe, but the return is Club Europe, standard connection, onward in BA First, which tax level applies?

Ozstamps: Who did you speak with regarding the locking-in of the award for 12 months? My friends and I are looking to redeem for April/May 2003, but cannot commit to specific dates yet. If we choose dates, then need to change later, is QF saying they will still honor the tickets for 12 months from issue date?
