Award Booking with friend/non relative

[Nat]

Hi all,

I have a bunch of Qantas FF points saved up and am planning a trip with a friend later this year. Being a non relative I know I'm not able to transfer QFF points to them however is it allowed to book a ticket on their behalf if I'm travelling with them?

Thanks!

I'm sure your friend can be your domestic partner or defacto, or uncle or auntie. I don't think I've ever heard of situations where Qantas has ever questioned it (besides doing a phone booking). Also they sure won't check at the airport.

Ok thanks for the info guys, just a bit frustrating

Yep, just say they are your cousin. When I worked in qf res we would actually steer people towards that option. -"I'd like to make a ff booking for my friend." -"Oh, you mean your cousin..."
