Another Flight Voucher question

[QPProletarian]

Hi,

Just wondering how to get some value out of a Flight Voucher expiring in the next couple of months. I should've used this for my Christmas flights, but anyways.

It's for $270 with $77 of change fees. It will let me pick OW or Return, but seems to only show flights based on a higher fare code bucket rather than the actual cost. I can't tell which fare code/bucket was involved in the original booking as it only shows the value. I'm not sure how the original MEL-BNE added up to 270 anyways.

Can you use this as a copayment for JASA? Might be wise to use it during DSC.

Qantas Credit Vouchers can only be redeemed on bookings:

[TABLE="class: layout, width: 760"]

[/TD]
[TD="width: 97%"]Where the new fare amount (which excludes carrier charges, fees and taxes) is equal to or higher than the original fare and the conditions of the new fare are met;[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 3%"]

[/TD]
[TD="width: 97%"]Departing from the country in which the original booking was made; and[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR="class: last"]
[TD]

[/TD]
[TD]Where all travel is completed 12 months from the date your original booking was created.[/TD]
[/TR]

What type of bookings cannot be redeemed with a Qantas Credit Voucher?

[TABLE="class: layout, width: 760"]
[TR]
[TD]

[/TD]
[TD="width: 97%"]Bookings with a lower value than the credit voucher value.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]

[/TD]
[TD]Bookings where travel has commenced, for example, for an upgrade or additional fares.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]

[/TD]
[TD]Multi-city, round the world and Jetstar bookings[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

You also can't use them for ASAs or Classic Awards I believe.

Can you redeem onto Flex Fare and then cancel to renew the voucher?

I think then you would get hit with fees again further diminishing your voucher. I have never tried that before however.

No that doesn't work, if you cancelled the newly booked flights the voucher would have the same expiry date.
