How it works
When you book on qantas.com or the Qantas App, you can book with confidence knowing that you're getting the best fare with our Price Promise policy.
If you find an identical Qantas flight with the same conditions for a lower fare than what you booked it for directly with us, we'll match it and refund you the difference after your trip.
Check your eligibility and the requirements for making a Price Promise claim before starting. These and the terms and conditions are outlined on this page.
Collect screenshot evidence from an eligible competitor website which shows you've found a lower fare for an identical flight with the same, or more favourable, fare conditions.
Ensure you submit your eligible Price Promise claim, with all supporting evidence, by midnight (AEST/AEDT) on the same calendar day that you booked your Qantas flight with us.
We'll acknowledge receipt of your claim on submission and email you to advise the outcome within five business days.
Check your eligibility
To be eligible to claim for a Price Promise refund, you must meet all the following criteria:
- you purchased a Qantas flight in full on qantas.com or the Qantas App in Australian dollars (AUD), without using Qantas Points or a Flight Credit,
- your flight departs from Australia,
- the lower comparison fare is for the identical Qantas flight (with a QF flight number) on the same date and:
- has the same inclusions, such as cabin and checked baggage allowances that are included when booking directly with us,
- has no hidden or additional fees for making or servicing the booking (e.g. change, cancellation or services fees), and
- the comparison fare is publicly available on the same calendar day as you booked with Qantas, and is being sold by an Australian online travel agency operating under an active ABN/ACN.
How to claim
Gather claim information
Once you've checked your eligibility and read the Price Promise terms and conditions, you'll need to collect screenshot evidence that you've found a valid lower fare.
The screenshots you share with your claim are essential in helping us assess whether the claim is successful.

- total fare price per person on the final checkout or payment page (don't include your credit card details), and
- number of passengers and passenger types (adults, children, infants).
Screenshots need to be:
- taken on the same calendar but after you made your booking with us,

Price Promise refunds are processed after you've travelled on your first flight. The refund method and timeframe depend on the original form of payment.
What if my claim is unsuccessful?
If your claim is unsuccessful, we'll contact you to explain why as per the policy terms and conditions The most common reasons for a claim to be rejected include:
- the flight and the inclusions (e.g. add-ons, service fees) aren't the same as the flight you booked with us,
- the screenshots provided don't meet the requirements for a comparison, or
- the comparison fare is from a third-party website that doesn't allow you to book and pay for it i.e. it's a representative fare and not an actual fare.
Price Promise refunds
If your claim is successful, you'll be refunded the fare difference between the booking you made with us and the lower fare comparison you provided in the claim (excluding any fees, such as credit card service fees). The refund method and timeframe are based on your original form of payment.
Refund method | Refund timeframe |

Credit or debit card, PayPal or Zip |
