Hi All,
Thought I would throw this one out to you all as I battle QF with my current situation.
Trying to book a ACIR26 ex HKG with my TA in HKG and have been advise that if I choose to take the QF codeshare flights within the USA I will incur additional taxes of approx $1250AUD
While I know the fare is a lot cheaper to purchase in HKG I am staggered that QF have decided to penalise its customers for wanting to fly on the QF Codeshare. Just to be clear it is not necessary to take the QF codeshare but since it was a planned trip and if I choose the QF Codeshare I will in fact earn enough status credits to remain a P1 (need a few more QF code to get my 2700)
The P1 team have kindly rechecked this on their system and even put a dummy booking for the same flights on the QF codeshare and it turns out its only applied if you purchase the ticket from outside Australia.
I am at a loss to get my head around this and have no idea why QF want to penalise loyal customers for choosing to fly QF code and metal where ever they can.
