Thank you very much for working that out for me @madrooster

Thanks so much @madrooster I know the dollar fluctuates but we were charged $1094 per person on July 13. Is there any point asking qantas to recalculate? Or even to check on the charges as I can't see the breakdown of taxes like you have done.

Kate
 
Hi, please calculate QR KBP-MCT via DOH mixed class J on KBP-DOH Y on DOH-MCT
Thanks.

Was your booking created over the phone or online?
 
I haven’t booked yet and the only way will be over the phone as Kyiv will not populate in the search field. Last time I did a phone booking it took over 1hr to connect to a agent and find the award/calculate taxes for a simple CMB-HKG redemption.
Tried matrix ita but it won’t accept my multi city search with F bc= d then F bc=v commands?
Total taxes all segments in business is about $295 and in economy $235, I’m guessing for the mixed class booking I want the taxes will cost somewhere in the middle of these two totals?

Hi again @madrooster I'm intrigued by your question whether I made booking on phone or online and hope you have a chance to fill me in. Thanks Kate
 
I believe Qantas charges YQ (fuel surcharge) on award tickets but doesn't on revenue tickets; perhaps that's the reason the amounts are different?

I think he can check your specific PNR depending on how the booking was initiated...can do check it one way but not the other, from memory

Hi again madrooster,

Our itinerary has changed - mostly in sequence of flights - to as below and we now have a flight for the previous surface sector. Also we had to drop our last sector (ADL-MEL) to stay under the 35,000 mileage limit - doesn't seem to accord with the rules about counting the miles required to get you back to your origin but QF accepted it so I'm not complaining about that change.

I've also added the stopovers in the requested format.

The fees for our itinerary are now over $4,000 for 2 passengers - which really seems excessive - so your assessment would be greatly appreciated.

Flights:

1 | MAY 2020 | QF693 | MEL | ADL | Business
2 | MAY 2020 | QR915 | ADL | DOH | Business
3 | MAY 2020 | QR93 | DOH | ZRH | Business
