Most probably AUD, when booking using expedia.com.au. Need to use expedia.co.nz if you want to pay in NZD.

I thought so but wanted to double-check if there is a better deal before booking on QF.

It isn't a bad deal but then you do have to deal with the expedia T&Cs - not good if you need to change anything usually...

I was charged in Australian Dollars as I booked on a .au website.

I also received tracking of my .80% cashback via cashrewards which bought the price down to $795AUD

can you choose your seat if make the booking via expedia ??

I can't comment about expedia, but i booked through helloworld and just logged into QF's website and picked my seat there.

 

[qantas21]

Yes you can.

Obviously you will need to enter your FF# to the booking.

 

[annielee]

thanks.. just thinking whether worth booking via expedia for the 0.08% cashback or directly via qantas website..

Helloworld credit card fee of $AUD16.02 is slightly higher than expedia.com.au of $AUD14.00.

The cashback fee is 0.80% not 0.08%.

Thanks for the heads-up qantas21. I booked my ticket a few months ago and HW were quite a bit cheaper than Exp but it's helpful to know for anyone else looking at booking the flight.

I actually regret not buying directly through Qantas because I assume I'll be better looked after if there's any problems (I expect that QF would simply tell me to ring my travel agent), and I would have got bonus QF points by booking through my Amex card. Ah well, I've learnt for next time.

You are most welcome PaulST. I dislike playing the currency conversion game with my credit card and prefer to book in AUD.


I didn't know that Australian issued Amex get bonus points on Qantas NZ? Does it just post as Qantas on your statement which therefore qualifies the bonus points?

 

[medhead]

Yes, I did that.

Did you go beyond flight selection. I just did a search and it said $899 at flight selection page. Flight review page then added the NZD.
