Motion:

“That ICPA (Aust) continues to work with Qantas to enhance the Frequent Flyer Resident Fares program to enable families to use multiple eligible departure and return points within the Resident Fares program to better suit the needs of rural and remote students attending educational institutions.”

Explanation:

Currently students based near both Cloncurry and Mt Isa are unable to book a resident fare leaving from one location and returning to the other depending on the best option for families at the time. Resident fares should be able to be booked departing from one eligible location and returning to a different eligible location, within the Resident Fares program. Due to unpredictable weather it is sometimes necessary to have access to multiple eligible locations within the resident fares program.
