Thats 2% to 3% of the TOTAL FARE vs 20% of the Surcharge. Works out to a pretty similar amount for a standard domestic fare. Funny that.
I suggest you use a calculator next time ...$19 is 2% of a $950 fare and 3% of a $630 fare. On
VB you are looking at sectors of 2.5 hours or greater before the QF 2-3% fare cut is even close
VB fares Bne - Syd and Mel - Syd full economy $350 @ 2% = $7 @ 3% =$10.50 ....... Bne - Mel $500 @2% = $10 @3% = $15
With many cheaper fares in the market the 20% fuel surcharge cut delivers a far greater saving than a similar QF 2-3% fare cut would.
