Adding plus bundle to JQ booking.

[Austff]

I booked thru price beat & was only offered starter fare.
I asked JQ to add plus bundle but they say it can't be done & have to make a new booking , has this always been the case ?
Does anyone know how I can add plus bundle ?
.
Have done some reading & found JQ's T&C state they won't price beat plus fares.

Can't be added I'm afraid.

It is more of a general JQ policy ... price matches are treated like any starter fare. To change a starter to a plus fare requires payment of the change fee and fare difference.

With a price beat the change fee Is often greater than the original fare paid.

Sorry to add to an old thread, but I think I've found a way to add a Plus Bundle to a JQ price beat booking.

After selecting a seat for purchase online, and proceeding to the payment page, an option actually comes up to add a Plus Bundle to the booking. Unfortunately, the price is quite high at $114 for a MEL-SYD flight. That is about the same as the usual cost of the Plus Bundle ($35) plus the difference between the regular fare and the price I paid by doing a Price Beat.

Not sure if there's really any value in this (and I won't be paying the extra $114), but I guess this could be useful for some.
