Flight Credits Class Action

[Bernster18]

Today I've received an email and SMS from Echolaw:

Flight Credits Class Action against Qantas — Echo Law

www.echolaw.com.au

"Echo Law is pleased to confirm that, on 13 March 2026, the parties reached an agreement to settle the class action for a sum of $105 million. The settlement agreement is subject to Court approval and is made with no admission of liability.

To participate in the proposed settlement, Group Members must register by 4pm (AEST) on 2 October 2026. It does not cost any money to register to participate in the proposed settlement and you will never be 'out of pocket' as a result of participating in this class action."

I'm assuming lots of AFFers have received this. Has anybody signed up? Is it worth it or should I just ignore it?
I got my cancelled flights refunded.

I think I signed up a while ago and received this notice yesterday. I received my points back but not the flight I paid for because I had changed banks and the money went to a closed account. Could never get Qantas to find where it was! It was over $400 so I hope this will now work. Hope this helps.

Obviously a lot of people doubtful about the contact e-mail. Although this notice may also make the process a more tempting target for scammers.

Qantas customers warned not to delete email about $105m settlement

More than 1 million Qantas customers are being notified they may be eligible for access to a multi-million-dollar settlement.

I registered and was shown two rows for flights in 2020 and 2021, for a total of six flights. I'll see how this goes - I lost a tiny bit (<$200) in GVs (which I realise this doesn't cover) and even if Echo takes a huge cut, anything I get will be more than what I otherwise would have.

Just submitted my claim for 6 flights. I feel like I've done quite well out of QF's bad behaviour over the COVID period
