I just want to ensure that our (great) country has more than one international airline to choose its products and services from. That is the basis of a true free market economy, where a single dominant player doesn't exist to do whatever they want - willy nilly. Anyone would think we have a one-airline communist system!

Baysider said:After recently struggling to book flights via my preferred connecting city on the Qantas website, I instead went and did it on travel.com.au. As well as being able to select my preferred connecting city, which the Qantas online booking facility doesn't permit, the final fare was about 4% lower than the lowest Qantas fare.
The moral - forget the Qantas online booking facility and the 1% credit card surcharge, and go visit travel.com.au

shillard said:Presumably better value than www.travel.com which tried to convince me that US$494 was a good price for Rome-Milan return, 2 months out.
20,000 QFF points was a much better option.
dajop said:I'm not going to even bother reading all the posts that have gone on in here in the last few days.... but one small point about the surcharge. Whilst I really don't care about paying a 1% surcharge on a $188 red e-deal to pay by CC, ironically this is the one fare that the surcharge should not apply to! If these are true "web-only" fares, the only means of payment is by CC, and the fares already should already have the credit card merchant fees built in to them.
