Yeah, I'd suspect this wouldn't help them much. If business people stop flying due to corporate policy or business need, a reduction like this won't change things. And Joe public, who might be willing to pay more for a bit of luxury I suspect will still find the amounts offered ($1179 one way) to still be unappealing. I suspect it'll be more likely to just reduce yields from those who would be flying BC anyway.

Qantas should be well aware that not many business people are 'on the road' around year-end anyway..

Therefore they are hoping more come from Y to J than J to J..

I know of 1 person who has changed from Y - J directly because of this sale.

Great. It costs only marginally less to travel between BNE-MEL than BNE-PER in J.

In other words, both are still atrocious in price, although at least BNE-PER is more palatable now, if you so insist on ponying up the cost to travel between the coasts in comfort. (Paying about the same amount to go to MEL in J in cash, on the other hand, is )

Oh, and from a status run point of view , still no good big time (you could cross the Tasman return for that amount, in J).
