Qantas tips & tricks
80-hour rule for seat selection
Because Qantas restricts access to sought-after seats to elite frequent flyers, you may not see those seats as available during the booking process. But these restrictions are lifted 80 hours before a flight. So, if you want to snap up your favorite seat, log in to Qantas Manage Booking 80 hours before departure, check for previously unavailable seats, and change your seat selection. Please note that some seats (as emergency seats with extra legroom) are available at an additional cost, with prices starting at 10 AUD (~7.5 USD).
Fly around the world with the Qantas Oneworld Award
Oneworld is a multi-city award program on steroids that lets you fly around the world in exchange for your Qantas Points (as little as 130,000 Points in Economy or 300,000 Points in Business class). You can travel up to 35,000 miles with up to 16 flight sectors. A quick comparison with a return ticket from Australia to London which costs 110,000 Points, makes Oneworld probably the best way to redeem Qantas Points! There’s a small catch though – you will also need to pay a cash component to cover taxes and airline surcharges, most likely A$1,000 – A$2,000.
Best times to call Qantas
Qantas call centre wait times may be frustratingly long unless you have a high Qantas Frequent Flyer status (Platinum or Gold). Even if Qantas offers a call-back service, it doesn’t reduce the overall waiting time. To decrease lengthy periods on hold, try to call Qantas at off-peak times during the middle of the week. Experienced Qantas customers suggest that the best time to call is early in the morning (4 am – 7 am AEST). Also, late hours on weekends can increase the chance for your call to be answered promptly.
Get them early
To enjoy low price tickets, get them early – at least 3-4 weeks in advance. Near your travel date, Qantas prices will start skyrocketing and you will be paying a premium price targeted at latecomers. Use our Cheap Flight Center to find the dates with the lowest fares.
Save 99.50 AUD on Qantas Frequent Flyer membership
Qantas Frequent Flyer program is free for citizens of countries other than Australia and New Zealand. Although, if you live in those two countries, you can take advantage of this promo code to also join the Qantas loyalty program without paying a 99.50 AUD membership fee.
Find best Qantas economy seats
Contrary to the popular view, not all economy seats on a plane are created equal. Some seats have slight advantages over others. It all depends on the aircraft, so we recommend visiting the SeatGuru website, where after entering your flight number you will be presented with a detailed seat map. Hover over individual seats to compare quality, and check out other travelers’ reviews. Detailed seat maps on Qantas website may also be useful.
Use SMS service for fast customer service feedback
Qantas recently introduced a convenient SMS service as a part of its Customer Support. It appears that SMS-es get replied much quicker than calls, live chat messages, e-mails, or even social media DMs. Reportedly, the Qantas staff that you can reach via SMS is much more knowledgeable and experienced than those who serve other support channels. To text Qantas via SMS, use 0477 QANTAS or 0477 726 827. Please note that Qantas SMS service is available to customers within Australia only.

Q: Does Qantas serve free alcohol on international flights?
A: Yes. Qantas serves free alcoholic beverages in every ticket class on international flights.
Q: How early should I arrive at the airport?
A: Qantas recommends arriving at the airport at least 2 hours for domestic flights and 3 hours for international flights. This allows for the less rushed and stressful travel experience. The real optimal arrival time depends on the airport, your baggage (checked baggage to drop off or hand luggage only), your knowledge about airport procedures and time of the year. For busy holiday periods, special events or even weekends, you should add more time, just in case.
Q: What travel documents do I need?
A: To check-in for domestic flights, you need an identity card (driver license, social security card, passport) and your Qantas booking reference (printed on your e-ticket itinerary receipt). If you are a Qantas Frequent Flyer / Qantas Club member, it's advisable to bring the adequate card with you. To check-in for international travel, you need a passport that is still valid for at least another six months. Additionally, to avoid problems at the destination, please make sure you have the applicable visa and a return (or an onward) journey ticket.
Q: What happens if Qantas cancels my flight?
A: If Qantas cancels your flight, the airline typically rebooks you on the next available departure. In some cases you may receive Flight Credits to be used for new booking of your choice. You can also request a full refund, usually at no additional cost.
Q: How much does it cost to cancel Qantas flight?
A: Qantas cancellation fees are steep and vary depending on the route. For example, the cancellation fee for a domestic (within Australia) flight in Economy Flex class stands at 99 AUD. The annulments of international trips are much higher - the cancellation of a flight from Australia to the US costs 400 AUD (Economy Sale) or 200 AUD (Economy Saver). In addition to the cancellation fee, Qantas charges a service fee of 45 AUD (domestic) or 77 AUD (international) for bookings changes made via telephone, at the airport, or Qantas travel outlets. There is no extra fee if you do it yourself on the Qantas website.
