Q Surcharges
Application of Q Surcharges
Q surcharges may apply to Qantas fares for the following reasons:
- Tariff differentiation surcharge on fares booked and ticketed in EDIFACT.
- Outbound and/or inbound travel during peak periods.
- Travel on specific high-demand flights.
- Travel on peak days of week for fares that do not offer 'day of the week' pricing.
Other reasons for the use of Q surcharges include:
- Showing the cost of the fare for an Extra Seat for Personal Comfort where one ticket only is issued for the customer and the extra seat.
- Ticketing of Australian domestic fares in points of sale other than Australia.
- Navigation surcharges such as those imposed by the Canadian Government on flights to/from and within Canada.
Note:
The application of Q surcharges may change at any time without prior notification. Refer to the Commercial Policy for Peace of Mind Pricing Waiver if assistance is required.
Quoting Q Surcharges
Q surcharges will automatically quote in your customer's booking and will appear in the fare calculation on the ticket. You should check the Surcharges paragraph of the applicable fare rule for further information.
Child and infant discounts apply to peak travel Q surcharges on Qantas fares.
There are no discounts for the Canada Navigation surcharge.
Commission on Q Surcharges
Base commission, if applicable, may be claimed on Q Surcharges charged by Qantas but not on government-imposed Q surcharges.
'Day of Week' Pricing
In addition to Q surcharges, Qantas offers 'day of week' pricing across specific fares and routes.
'Day of week' pricing can be identified by an 'X' for weekdays and 'W' for weekends in the fare basis code.
