Shigella Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Does anyone know if there's a way to book a flight out LHR-SYD and return SYD-LHR on Qantas in AUD using an Australian credit card. All the sites I look at (including Qantas' own) recognise that I'm currently in the UK and want to charge me in GBP. However, it's beyond ridiculous to pay exchange rates to see the charge in GBP then pay exchange rates plus foreign purchase fees on the Australian credit card to convert it back to AUD. Hope this makes sense and someone has suggestions! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hoffer Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Try calling dial a flight that may help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyNook Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I think you'll find that as the flight originates in the UK the fares will always be quoted in pounds. I'm in Sydney and when I enter a LHR/SYD/LHR booking using qantas.com.au I get the fares in pounds, too. So it's got nothing to do with your current location being in the UK.

Shigella Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thanks for checking that for me. In the end I phoned the London office and that's what they said. When I went through the online booking process it did give me an option of apply the charge in AUD to my credit card but the exchange rate was rubbish so might have to rethink the best way to do it.
