... and now advertised on the Qantas site:

Business 2 for 1 - International - Sale

There are some pretty good deals in there!

A general 2-for-1 international sale including WHY could have been more usefull. Anyway good luck to anyone that can make use of the sale....

I did a double take when i saw the JNB price, thats a cheap flight.

I only wish when they had these sales you did not have to travel the segments with the other person, often it may be useful to me but for example have different return dates. Oh well good luck to all those people who can take advantage.

Absolutely useless for a single person. The requirement to travel with someone else means there is no way I can use this offer.


Hopefully one day Qantas and other businesses that think that everyone has a partner, will realise that there is a large number of people not in a relationship but do have discretionary income and like to travel and would appreciate a deal like this.

A final question, on this fare do both people get FF points and SC?

[MelUser]

Please don't get me wrong as I like a sale but,

Don't these sales devalue the premium Qantas product which is priced above market because of what it is?

[Not to mention reduce the number of seats available for points upgrades but I'm not going there, at least for now!]

I presume they want to stop single (perhaps business travellers) taking up this deal. By making it a comnpanion fare I guess it stops that to an extent.

Pity they only have point to point travel and not RTW. Hubby is going on work trip in March and his company travel agent has booked tickets in J class for about $10K plus taxes. If they have RTW then I can use this 2-for-1 deal. As is, I cannot make good use of it!
