Qantas Hotels - Expedia

[Mr H]

Forgive me if this is old news, but I have just had a Messenger chat with a hotel I was booking through Qantas Hotels. The hotel was surprised as they were not partners with Qantas. When I made the booking with Qantas Hotels, they said it had come through as an Expedia booking. So this means, I presume, that Qantas Hotels is simply an overlay for Expedia - costing a bit more and offering points.

Qantas hotels has been using Expedia for a long time but it’s not their only channel.

It's in the booking T&Cs'

In some cases Qantas Hotels uses a third party intermediary, including but not limited to Expedia, or additional agents, to facilitate your booking with the service provider. Your booking may reference this third party as the booking agent.

Amex travel is also Expedia for most hotels.

That doesn’t mean all Expedia inventory is available on QF hotels.

Unfortunately.

This has been the case a long while

The main advantage for QF Hotels is that on overseas locations, you pay in Australian dollars via an Australian merchant so there’s no extra fees charged by the credit card providers !

AFAIIA Unless you are going very niche or direct to the hotel, the vast majority of internet Hotel bookings go via one of three engines with hundreds of shop fronts with different names

Expedia
Booking.com
Trip.com
