Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

[MEL_Traveller]

Same thing applies to the mileage calculation for award travel SIN-HEL. The actual GCM has it in a lower band than QF charges… so an extra 10k points per ticket. But the mileage is what’s set by QF, not a third party.

not much support from this community with my interpretation

The support is not necessarily in providing validation but actually in providing diverse viewpoints, which in my view is much more valuable.

By the way have you included the Loyalty bonus of 50SC per 500SC?

The reason why Norfolk Island is considered international is very simple really. Any Aussie who has travelled there was left in a state of confusion as to whether it was an international or domestic destination. Well last I checked Australia has 6 states and none of them are called confusion!

Thanks. I can stand down then and find another topic which to ponder

......nahh, not sure I can walk away that quickly ........

For flights to Norfolk Island, Qantas sells travel insurance. Guess what.......

Issuer: AIG Australia Ltd
Policy: Australian Comprehensive
Destinations: NORFOLK ISLAND, AUSTRALIA

so lucky that nothing happened on my international flight with only domestic cover.......

Some people call domestic flights “internal flights”. And if you went with that, NLK is not internal as it is an external territory. And thus must be international.

Seems like the Americans do the same for GUM-HNL.

GUM-HNL international flight? - FlyerTalk Forums

Practical Travel Safety and Security Issues - GUM-HNL international flight? - I came back to Honolulu today after a trip on the big island and I therefore ventured around the airport and went by the international arrival section. I saw that CO2 from Guam was listed as international arrival? Guam...

If I were to fly to NLK I would carry a passport in case the flight gets diverted to NOU and to facilitate Duty free purchase - though I'm not sure if it is necessary for a "domestic" flight to NLK.

The Border Force page suggests passport is the preferred method of identification for travel to and from NLK. If no passport there are limited other forms of ID.

limited other forms of ID.

Some govt issued photo id like Drivers license OK. Of course this means that children will need passports which practically mean the parents should have them too.
