FAQs

If I previously purchased a Seat fare and want to change the travel date, how do I do this?

If I previously purchased a Seat only fare, can I now bring a checked-in bag after this change?

Will my Airpoints™ and Status points change?

Your Airpoints™ and Status points are based on the original ticket purchased. E.g. if you bought a Seat only fare, you will earn points based on this. If you purchased The Works, you will earn points based on this ticket.

For tickets sold and travel booked after 30 October 2022, the Status points and Airpoints™ dollars earned on these destinations will be based on the long haul fare structure (booking class booked and flown).
