Bloody shame they're joining any so called half-decent alliance. The points
required for Oz to Europe business class will probably now skyrocket from
the 110,000 JAL currently require (only 100,000 if you book on BA with JAL
points) to the 256,000 One World require. So much for half decent - more
like how much can we ripoff our loyal customers.
