Schedule Change Policy
A schedule change is an involuntary change to a flight. A UN/TK is generated to your customer's booking to notify you of the change.
When a schedule change is within 72 hours you will see no change in the booking as this is considered a disruption and is handled by Qantas.
The below policies outline options for managing and servicing your customers who have been affected by a schedule change to Qantas or other airline's flight for Qantas and other airline tickets.
If no reaccommodation has been offered or the new flights are unacceptable, please follow the Qantas or Other Airline Schedule Change policies to rebook your customer's flights.
Note: For unticketed bookings, alternative flights should be rebooked from current availability in accordance with the rules of the fare to be ticketed.
Where a schedule change has been accepted and the ticket reissued, further changes will be considered voluntary and any additional fare, taxes and fees will apply.
