Makes it hard to build a consistent price model.

I just compared a return trip to London to return trip to Frankfurt with Qantas on the same days, and it is around $200 dearer each on the London flight.
I'm not blaming Qantas, but it just remains a fact - using FF points on many international flights only pays for 60 to 65% of the trip, whereas the points pay for a lot more of the trip if used domestically.
But flights prices are really confusing nowadays. Two years ago we went to Europe with Emirates - when our dollar was really high. And we're going this year again on the same route with the same airline at the same times - and our dollar having taken a pounding. And I've paid a thousand dollars less for the two of us than last time.
