Just a word of caution for those using the magazine purchase route to get this ticket, and who are not regular QF account holders, and who don't intend to fly on the Concorde for a while. Since any date or route changes are subject to a fee of 2500 or 5000 QF miles respectively, you might wish to have some spare ones in your account. Otherwise you will be stuck and unable to adjust your booking if plans change. So unless you either fly QF, or a oneworld partner whose flights you can credit into your new account for more QF points [or use hotel partners like Hilton that credit 1500 points a stay, which is a very good rate compared to the 500 it gives other FF programs] you may be be stuck with only the option of cancelling and redepositing your points, less another 5000.</font>
I see the change-penalty on the web site listed in QF miles, but assume that real money could be used if a person had no more QF miles. Has anyone tried this?
I ordered some IF's on 6/14, still waiting for the Starpoints to post.
