QANTAS website refresh

[Qantas747]

It appears that the homepage of qantas.com has now been updated to the new font.

At first glance, the white background behind the booking area is not as easy on the eye as the previous black. There's a lot of white!






The carousel banner image from the top seems to be gone. It's also a shame to see the font finally change online, too. I have really liked Ciutadella, and it fits QF so well online and in the terminals. It still exists away from the homepage, if only for now...





Overall, I think it could have been much worse. A few tweaks to the booking engine would be nice to break up all the Eurowhite, but I think this is one enhancement™ we might be able to live with. However, the QFF profile page has not yet been updated - and that will be the real test, given how clean and clear it currently is.

@Qantas747 did you check the functionality? That often gets borked in these sort of enhancements .

Looks like they've refreshed this page too:

I played around with a booking and it worked fine, thankfully still with the old layout and font... but @SeatBackForward seems to be having no such luck!

That was a trying to use the multi-City with points option. A basic SYD<>HKG Return search....

I’ve been seeing that error a lot lately (for a few weeks) on the MC search…

Agree.

It seems to be the result returned when no flights are available in the selected date range.

Probably. There’s supposed a sad airplane page when there’s no flights but something been broken…. You see it a lot searching for EK.

Since the refresh I haven't been able to load the website on Chrome even after deleting history and emptying cache

And no easy option to book multi city flights on the drop down menu.

Working on my iPhone. I'm away from my PC to check that.

There’s a new multi-city link further down the page. It’s actually working on my phone.

Are you on a VPN? The website has been borked for me on certain VPN servers.

not that I'm aware of - I probably need to restart the laptop or something like that but the current thing I am working on would delay me too much. Once I've done it I'll try that. No biggie. Works on edge

This afternoon I had zero success on booking a multi-city of Melbourne, Hong Kong, Manchester, Melbourne. Phoned up and they said they couldn't work Hong Kong to Manchester. Looked on webjet and several options with One World partners such as Qatar, or British Airways or Qantas partner Emirates.

Yes, might just need the old close all windows, shutdown, reboot,....

What were you hoping to see?

Pretty sure QF will generally only show QF flights and QF codeshares (on partner metal) as a paid mulit-city. It's not a generic booking tool like the OTAs. But if you can find something like what you need using an OTA, you can still add your QFF details. The negative is that you're dealing with an OTA if something goes pear shaped.
