QANTAS has been ordered to pay $US40,000 ($37,000) for engaging in "unfair and deceptive practices" by the US Department of Transportation (DOT).
The airline was found to have violated rules requiring the fair advertisement of fares late last year, according to a consent order issued by the DOT.
Qantas displayed ads on a number of websites - including its own - that omitted taxes and fees from the total ticket price, the DOT found. The airline did not include a link to a web page that provided an immediate display of the total extra costs as required by law.
