Refundability of Qantas Domestic Business Fares

[CaptJCool]

I did notice the fees were refunded on a cancelled rewards tic. Something small for the 6,000 points burnt ….

Just revisiting this as need to book a business domestic flight for Mrs SS. Are these still fully refundable?

To the statement 'if you cancel for a refund' in the table there is a green tick but also an asterisk;

*No fees apply where you are entitled to a refund or alternative flight under the Australian Consumer Law, equivalent local law or Conditions of Carriage.

That sounds like an each way bet to me. Can anyone clarify?

Booked plenty and have cancelled plenty, they’re fully refundable

I’ve got a Westpac Black CC. To be eligible for the complimentary lounge passes you now need to purchase a Qantas flight. Could I buy a business fare, get the passes, then cancel the flight? Would they remove the passes?

Theoretically yes - but that seems pretty pointless...

I did look into this quite recently - wasn't aware that the business was fully refundable. My understanding was there was a ~$50 fee to process a full refund.

I instead was looking at the 'Cancel for any reason' policy to make use of some otherwise pointless lounge vouchers - main caveat being you need to plan for it 30 days out..
