Teh New Upgrade Opportunity

Qantas Frequent Flyer members now have a new avenue ⁣to experience premium⁤ travel: the ability to upgrade eligible Jetstar ⁣flights to Qantas-operated⁢ services using their​ points. This development, announced recently, offers a compelling option for travelers seeking a more pleasant ​journey, especially on routes ‍where both airlines operate.

How the‌ Upgrade System‌ works

The upgrade process involves checking for availability on eligible Jetstar bookings. ⁣ Not ⁢all Jetstar flights are eligible, and availability will depend on‌ demand and cabin class. The number of​ points required ⁤for an upgrade varies based on factors like the original Jetstar fare,the destination,and the class ​of service on the​ Qantas flight. Crucially, the Qantas flight must be operated by Qantas – codeshare flights are not included.

To initiate ‍an upgrade,⁢ members ⁣should log into their ⁤ Qantas Manage‍ Booking ⁢ portal. This is ⁢also where you can manage other aspects of your flight, ⁤such as seat selection and meal preferences. ⁢ The upgrade option will appear ​if⁢ your booking is eligible.

Eligibility and Considerations

Several factors determine upgrade eligibility. The ⁣Jetstar booking must​ be made directly through Jetstar or Qantas. ‌It’s ⁢critically important to note that ​some ‌fare types ⁢might potentially be excluded from the ​upgrade program. Additionally, upgrades⁢ are subject to availability, and Qantas reserves the right to‌ limit the number of upgrades offered on any given flight.

Passengers should also be‌ aware of ⁣the potential ‌for changes to their itinerary if‍ an upgrade is accomplished. This may ⁤include a different departure time or a change in connecting flights. ​It’s always advisable to review the updated itinerary carefully after completing the upgrade process.

Managing Your Booking and Check-In

Qantas provides several options for managing your booking, including⁢ online check-in.According to Qantas’ check-in options page, online check-in is available from 24 hours up to 90 minutes before an international flight and 24 hours up to 30 minutes before a domestic flight. seat selection is also available during online check-in, allowing passengers to choose their preferred seat on the Qantas flight.

If​ you need to refund, change, or cancel your flight, this can also be done through the Manage Booking portal, tho fare conditions and potential​ fees will apply.
