Hi all,

Does anyone know how Qantas generally handles it if you miss a flight because you’re held up getting to the airport (e.g. traffic, delays, etc.)?

I understand it’s technically considered a no-show, but wondering what happens in practice, particularly for domestic flights within Australia. If you arrive late, will Qantas usually try to put you on the next available service (even for a fee), or is the entire fare forfeited?

Appreciate any insights.

Thanks!

Yep. Presuming there’s availability I’ve found them good.

Couple of months ago in Syd was late arriving and the red e-deal flight was re-booked by the service desk with little drama.
