Qantas has announced a raft of measures to assist frequent flyers in planning their next trip once travel restrictions lift. To help improve flexibility as travel restrictions are steadily adjusted, Qantas and Jetstar are introducing more flexibility from today.
Domestic travel change fee waiver
Customers can book any Qantas or Jetstar Australian domestic flight between 21 May and 30 June 2020, for travel between 12 June and 31 October 2020, and Qantas will waive the change fee one time if you decide to change the date of your travel. Customers will have to cover any fare increase (if relevant) for the new booking.
International flight credit extension
Further flexibility has been introduced for international bookings (excluding Trans-Tasman). Customers with an existing Qantas or Jetstar international flight booking, for travel between 1 August and 31 October 2020, who wish to change their plans, can cancel their booking and retain the full value as a flight credit.
Flight credits must be requested by 30 June 2020 and are valid for booking and travel across domestic and international services by 31 December 2021. Jetstar credit vouchers allow up to two years to travel from the issue date. Customers will have to cover any fare increase (if relevant) for the new booking.
If a flight is cancelled by Qantas, customers will be rebooked on the next available flight at no additional cost. Alternatively, customers can choose a flight credit or a refund.
In-flight wellbeing improvements
From 12 June, Qantas and Jetstar will also roll out a series of wellbeing improvements to give peace of mind in preparation for domestic travel restrictions easing.
The ‘Fly Well’ program brings together a number of temporary measures already in use by the Qantas Group, including on repatriation flights from virus hot-spots, and represents a combination of best-practice medical advice and feedback from customers.
