Trying to arrange to get my mum back from Canberra to Brisbane or Gold Coast on Sunday 16th Oct. There doesn't seem to be many options with classic rewards direct and business class. She will also have more than 20kg (coming from overseas the day before), so that is another issue. I did a search on Qantas website for reward flights and the best option might be this one:
Canberra 13:25
Melbourne 14:35
QF1519
1h 10m
Business
Flight QF1519 is operated by Qantaslink - National Jet Systems
Melbourne 16:15
Gold Coast (Coolangatta) 17:15
JQ444
2h 00m
Economy
Flight JQ444 is operated by Jetstar
Total duration 4h 50m
Now my question is if I book the above flight:
1) Will she have to collect her bags in Melbourne, or can she request they be put through all the way to Gold Coast? (given one flight is QF and the other is JQ).
2) Canberra to Melbourne will be in Business, so she will be able to check in 2x32kg from my understanding? However the flight with Jetstar would only be 20kg as it is Economy? As the bags are checked in at Canberra with the business ticket, will the weight be an issue for the second flight? She is planning to have one suitcase around 25kg. I think the Jetstar allowance for Economy is only 20kg?
3) Can you purchase additional luggage on a classic rewards flight with Jetstar? If so where can I find the prices?
Thank you everyone!
