Where is a will, there is a way. If QF would be serious to get out of the EK commercial agreement they would find a way to do it. OK there are certainly penalties to do so but I cannot see any alternative as the current sitatuation costs QF a lot of business. I mentioned here before that I do no longer book QF (nor EK) to Europe as I prefer to stop over in Singapore. And I am not the only one.
By the way, Web Jet advertises today Emirates flights to Europe from $ 1,770 return cattle class. No mentioning of the faithfull partner Qantas. What
deal did AJ sign here?
