How do Qantas audit surcharges (including YQ) and taxes for IT bookings?

For IT bookings, Qantas audit the fare and Carrier imposed surcharges (YQ) as per date of PNR creation and taxes as per the date of ticket issue.

Annual IT fare changes will be advised when these are due to take place, with 5 days’ notice before the new fares are updated in the GDS. For IT bookings we allow these to be ticketed as per the date of PNR creation or as per reissue policy if the PNR has been altered. We will issue this advice when any annual IT fare changes are made. Where an annual IT fare changes, and the fare no longer quotes with a GDS guarantee, the DOB should be entered into the endorsement box in order to indicate the correct fare to be used at audit. Any bookings ticketed without this information will be subject to the ADM policy.
