AA points

Yes - you can ring the AA call centre in Brisbane to make bookings.

I really wouldn't though. The AA Call centre in Australia charges $60 telephone booking fee whilst the US reservations charges USD20 ( approx $22.50 ) and UK charged GBP20 ($33.50)

Are the taxes on award flights booked through AA the same as QF?

Taxes are the same however AA does not charge
Fuel Surcharges
YR Surcharge
GST on domestic flights if booked through call centre other than Brisbane


On Trans Tasman / Domestics that is around a $7-$10 saving over QF taxes , so not much. On a international trip other than TT , then it can be a fair bit cheaper

Thanks for catching that Dave. I usually ring the US myself for this reason.
