Y fare class for domestic when booking Y+

[Daver6]

When booking say PER to LAX in Y+, the domestic sector is in Y between PER and SYD. Does anyone know what fare class this falls into in terms of SC earn and for upgrades for the domestic sector in Y?

Usually B class (Flex)

Would the same apply if its done as a multi-city booking. Ie, aiming to turn up to Sydney the evening before rather than taking a red-eye.

If you login qantas.com and do a mock booking and proceed all the way to the payment page this should create a PNR that you can access through your account. This way you should see the fare class. (This worked with Flex Y booking).

B and Y are Flex Economy.

Was not aware of this trick! Incredibly useful. Thank you

W international fares book into H on AU domestics these days. It used to be B but hasn't been the case for 1-2 years now.

I booked Y+ for the international and domestic sectors booked into B for domestic. So still happens. Points upgrade to J already confirmed for domestic.

Which international route? There may be some which are still following the old rules.

I just did one and got booked into H for the domestic leg (SFO-MEL-SYD), so 20SC for MEL-SYD (40 with DSC)

PER to JNB via SYD. Actually flying into PLZ and out of CPT with the domestic sectors in SA booking into Y bucket on BA.

South Africa fares allow either B or H still, correct. Most other routes are H only now though.

PER-JNB via SYD when you could fly PER-JNB direct in less than half the time.

Convenient!

Given they're both flexi Y and earn the same rate/same points to upgrade to J, is there any real impact for a traveller?

Sure, if the only consideration is flight time, one might do that.

No real impact to the traveller.
