Hmmm, Looks like one of the 25 May changes brings back an old feature that had disappeared for a few years. Am I right or am I reading this smallprint incorrectly?
"The number of points needed for an Award flight on Qantas and our Partner airlines will be calculated on the sum of the one-way trips+ in your itinerary. There will be no charge for stopovers, or for any non-flown (surface) segments. Your itinerary may have no more than 16 flight or surface segments."
Mrs PP used to zip up to CNS for the day every month for coffee and lunch with her sister. It is only a 177 mile flight (354 return). Years ago it was 9000 points for either a one-way or return but that changed to 20000 points for either one-way or return.
It appears now that after 25 May it will be 8000 points for TSV-CNS-TSV. Sound correct?
If so, nice one Qantas! (ashame about the taxes - makes her lunch a lot more expensive!
)

PP, sorry, but it will be 8,000 each way; a total of 16,000. That's still less than 20,000 however.
You need to see the definition of a "trip" from the Qantas Frequent Flyer terms & Conditions.

I thought it meant a combination of the trip distances - bummer...
Oh well
The "Turnaround Point" here is the important one, this is defined just under that for Trip:
Quote:
'Turnaround Point' means the city on an Itinerary which is the farthest from the starting point for that Itinerary. A Turnaround Point will only exist when an Itinerary starts and ends at the same city and does not include a Stopover or Surface Segment
In mrs PP's case, the turnaround point is the "coffee/lunch venue"'Turnaround Point' means the city on an Itinerary which is the farthest from the starting point for that Itinerary. A Turnaround Point will only exist when an Itinerary starts and ends at the same city and does not include a Stopover or Surface Segment

It's a great pity. I used to be relatively happy to burn 8K on a SYD-CBR-SYD when cash fares were also high. Now cash fares are cheap and award tickets are expensive ...Originally Posted by Press Photog
