Qantas
has launched a new online payment feature that allows customers to book a flight and defer
payment until closer to their departure date.
"When a customer books an international
airfare [excluding Red e-Deal fares to New Zealand] or a Fully Flexible or Business Class Australian
domestic fare on qantas.com, they now have two payment options," said Qantas Group General Manager Sales and Distribution, Rob
Gurney
"Customers can continue to pay immediately, or use the new facility to confirm their seat and then
pay for it at a later date.
"Customers can now plan their travel on qantas.com in advance by booking their flight to ensure
they don't miss out on the flight they want, and then having the option of paying for it later when their travel plans are further
finalised."
The availability of Book Now Pay Later and the length of time customers have to pay will depend on fare type and time until departure, with
customers shown the date when full payment is due before deciding to proceed.
In order to secure a booking, customers will be charged a holding guarantee of A$25 per
passenger. This amount is then refunded when a customer pays the full amount for their tickets online. Customers can choose to pay by credit card or BPAY before the final
payment date.
