International Flights - Sydney
Prices are in Australian dollars and include charges/taxes as at 28 April 2010 and may fluctuate due to changes in charges/taxes. Valid for payment at qantas.com by BPAY (when booking a flight a week or more from departure) or Debit MasterCard (when booking a flight within a week). Credit card payments attract a fee of A$7.70 per passenger per booking to New Zealand and A$25 per passenger per booking to all other international cities.
It is this last bit that astounds me - first of all the charges on using a credit card are illegal aren't they and just as bad, what can the difference possibly be between a credit card payment whether it is for a ticket to NZ or anywhere else?????? Different charges????
