That is a good QF price. But I think LA SYD-AKL-SYD is still better if you don't mind getting up at "Half past "Oh My God"" on th return sector.

Hi,

Normally I would agree but i'm taking mrs ejb and she is not a morning person. So for a happy wife one takes the 6pm QF.

I also just got a good J priced return flight SYD - NRT - SYD over the Christmas/NY period. I was going to be flying then anyway (in J) so the saving is a nice bonus for me.

Do people actually think this is a good deal? I think for a 3 hour flight I would do it in WHY and save over $1,000 per person.

Getting 160 status credits for $1650 is a good deal ...

Actually, if I didn't require the SC's - I'd fly Emirates First (or Business) for roughly the same price, and enjoy the $200 roughly saving on transfers to/from the airports at each port.

I'd enjoy the onboard meal and service a lot more than the Qantas equivalent, plus the great entertainment on offer - plus the excellent Emirates lounges.

I still havn't done my trip BNE-AKL vv since the new Emirates Lounge opened, but have it on my radar to do.

Qantas 30% off or not has a long way to catch up the Emirates trans-tas.

Really? You consider $10/SC a good deal. To me that is a very average sort of deal. I would say 80 SCs for $400 is a good deal and 120 SCs for $500 is a much better deal. And that is without getting to the US where it is possible to get much much better SC deals.
