Have been attempting to book award flights DPS/DRW/CNS for a few weeks
on the Qantas website and always encountered an error when attempting to move to the payment details screen "We are unable to confirm the fare for the flights you have selected. Please cancel these segments and choose a different fare or flights and resubmit your confirmation request. " I did a dummy departing CGK, no problems getting to the payment screen. Charges/Taxes ripoff on the website was IRP 1426900 which works out to around AUD$169.
Rang the call centre and booked the flights (2500 points waived), this time the charges/taxes came in at USD$85.57 (AUD$93), saving of $76 per person.:?:
Dollars will come in handy paying the excess luggage charges departing DPS on Air North.
