Refundability of Qantas Domestic Business Fares

[SydneySwan]

I was just trying to book a Qantas domestic J fare and under refunds it just says 'Permitted'. When I last booked a Qantas domestic J fare in June it said 'Cancellation (including no show) Fare is fully refundable. Any refund or credit is the Australian dollar price.

Does anyone know if permitted = fully refundable?

 

[ThatMrBlake]

Yes - fully refundable

 

[CaptJCool]

Would have thought so
I’m sitting on some J fares where I paid the $25 HOLDING deposit with full payment due the day or two before flying
If I bail on them you cop the loss of $25

I am about to book a business class to Mel, but how do I find out if the ticket is J fare ticket before proceed to payment?

Have a look at the fare rules which is shown as one of the final steps before payment.

I looked up the fare rules, it shows:

Cancel for a Refund
Permitted.

• If this fare is combined with another fare the most restrictive refund conditions apply.

You may be entitled to a refund or alternative flight under the Australian Consumer Law or Conditions of Carriage.


(I am not 100% sure if this means it is Fully refundable if I am paying in cash (charge on my charge card) and if full refundable, what about tax? Is tax also refundable as well?)

Cancel for a Refund
Permitted.

Yes. You will get taxes back, but might not get the payment surcharge back.

I concur. I recently refunded a domestic J and the card payment fee was not refunded.

I think that’s reasonable

Thanks heaps! So......if I cancel it later, I will get full refund on ticket plus associated tax but not card payment fee, am I right?

Yes it will be refunded to the original card used

 

[CaptJCool]

The only other option on Qantas is the Pay Later feature if it’s offered. It allows you to forego the $25 you pay to hold til later if you don’t travel on the day

And if you do pay later (couple of days ahead) it deducts the $25 from the payment needed AND still refunds the $25 to you thus making a $50 discount …, used to work on Adelaide - OOL (dog leg) J fares

 

[JIMMYTHEJET]

what about the points you earned on the credit card ? Do they take that

Yes just like any other refunds on purchases with the credit card
