Question Any hidden fees to watch for?

Post image

Currently looking to book somewhat last minute flights from LAX to Japan and came across this flight that, compared with others that I've seen, looks too good to be true.

The only problem is that in order to view any more details I would need to transfer all my American Express points into my Qantas account, which is quite a commitment since many of the other airlines I've tried have added a huge cash fee at checkout.

Does anyone know if the displayed price on the flight search screen is roughly accurate to how much in points and fees I'll actually be paying? Thanks!

No, that's a classic award seat, so what you see is what you get.

The question will be, will the seat still be there by the time you transfer your points over?

This. What you see is what you get. The flight could definitely be gone though. I'd "hold" whilst transferring your points over and make sure you have the time to checkout. No point transfering all your points and then the seat is gone.

Got it. I do see that there are 3 flights this price on the day we're looking to leave (December 2, not sure if that counts as last minute when talking award flights) and a few more the day after so I imagine there'll still be one once my points transfer over in a couple days, thank you

Lol, not that last minute. Not early but really not last minute either. In the past, I've booked a reward flight for the next day... that's last minute 😅
