Qantas Expensive Website Vs Cheap Google Flights - Huge Price Discrepancies

[superpang]

I searched on Google Flights and booked (via Kayak) a QF J Fare from PAR - BKK - MEL for USD2800 in J.......when I did the search on the Qantas site or the same flights the price was quoted EUR3300.

The difference is huge! Does anybody know why these fares are not offered on the website, id prefer to book direct but cant justify the price difference......I get I booked via the US but still that shouldn't make for such a price difference.

FYI Google flights is awesome.

PAR is paris?

PAR must be a general Paris code, as opposed to CDG.

For the OP, anyone who tries to make sense of flight costings is doomed to eternal pain. I cherish such lack of logic as it allows crazy FF fanatics to find bargains.

PAR is paris?

Yeah PAR is Paris (all airports)

Do they both include taxes etc? Also google could be getting back a discounted consolidator fare or similar Also pricing in USD suggests google is going on USA point of sale, which is going to be different to France PoS.

just some thoughts

Google flights includes all taxes, plus a link to the site they find the fare on. I'd say go for it!

I just did a quick search with google flights and followed the link to Qantas for one way PAR - MEL and I ended up with €2551 - €2595.

It may depend on the actual route and dates you chose?

I'm Assuming/hoping that doesn't include the UK APD?

No APD if in transit

One way versus return pricing?

I have a flight in F coming on up on awards that has a 23:55 layover in London with no APD

I always find QF J codeshare flights are v expensive on the QF website so might be something to do with the Paris - BKK leg not being on QF metal?
