Hello All

we will be back in Aus visiting family and extending UK visa next week and have bought QF LHR-BNE and MEL-LHR Fully flex Y. Flying out of MEL (not BNE) as we will spend the last 3 days there. We will have 3 x 20kg bags between 2 of us - fine for Intl but not Dom (1 x 30kg bag each)

We didnt add the BNE-MEL flights in the main booking as they added £650 to the cost (as they would have been flexible too). We dont intend to buy the BNE-MEL tickets until we are more certain of date, but if we stick with Qantas, will we have to buy extra baggage allowance for the domestic leg booking or is it possible have it added or linked so they can see the international booking?

One Silver and One Gold FF - if that makes a difference.

thanks all
Steve
