Qantas
Pricing Glitch |
Qantas
has been accused of misleading customers by
advertising and selling flights in a higher
class of travel than they really are.
There is a well-known issue with the Qantas
website where flights will be filed in a
premium class of travel, even though some
segments of the journey are in a lower cabin
class. For example, an itinerary from
Brisbane to London via Dubai might appear as
a Premium Economy class fare - even though
the long sector from Brisbane to Dubai is
actually in Economy. A small "i" symbol next
to the fare price alerts customers to this.
But recently our members have discovered
examples of Qantas advertising entire
itineraries in the incorrect cabin class on
their website.
