Been searching classic rewards and found that well so often if you do not have direct flight to your destination from your city (yea, I am in Melbourne), but have it from Sydney then QF put Classic Reward fare only to connecting JQ flights while all connecting QF flights attract Classic Scam fare that is 3-4 times higher. And yes, Classic Award seats available from Sydney as well as between Melbourne and Sydney! Classic Scam at its best. So get commercial domestic ticket or buy it on separate itinerary. Shame to QF!

Agreed. Very disillusioned with classic rewards now. And can align with the buggy website (or with my well founded cynical hat on, the scam website). It's terrible the way you see results on different days, select it and only have classic plus available. And then the experience to book return flights one way on classic rewards - you bounce between EU and UK and USA trying to find ways home, and lose the selected pax qty when switching continents, and have to agree to the stupid "you will be charged in x currency" window before it searches. Such retarded user experience. Either bad designers OR (cynical hat on again) well designed to make it hard...

Are you familiar with the expression "Can't see the wood for the trees"?
It's about people who are so oddly fixated on one small detail (i.e. grammatical errors) that they completely miss the far more important bigger picture (i.e. an airline treating its customers badly).
Just asking, that's all....
