The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

Is fare at sales desk will be the same as advertised online?
If I buy a fare on sales desk can they check in for me? Also I think as QF PT there's guarantee Economy Seat right?

I don’t even know if they have a sales desk at the airport? But in any event, it’d be quicker to book and pay on line suspect.

AFAIK Qantas doesn’t offer a seat guarantee for platinum members. Even if they did, it’s unlikely to be available an hour before departure.

I don't think they have sales desks anymore at MEL. You can also book within a couple of minutes online if your browser auto fills your details.

That being said buying a on the day departure for QF can whack you well past $500 one way.

Would Qantas Flex work the same?
I just don't want Jetstar because I will lose Lounge Access and additional baggage allowance.

Even with a flex ticket you’ll have to pay any difference in fare. The change fee can be waived, but you’ll still be paying walk-up fares.
