You can transfer AMEX Or Citi points to Qantas at a 1:1 ratio, Barclays points at a 1.4:1 ratio, Capital One points at a 2:1.5 ratio, or Marriott points to Qantas at a 60K:25K ratio.

Qantas doesn’t charge fuel surcharges for El Al flights.

QF runs regular transfer bonus promos. Be sure to transfer 500 points into your account and opt in for emails to get targeted.

@Dan or whomever can help with my question :)
I am looking to book an ELAL flight via Qantas.
I wanted to know what other cash charges there will be in addition to the 75,600 points, as Qantas does not show the total until you have transferred the points…
I found this in one of the articles “Qantas doesn’t charge fuel surcharges for El Al flights” I just want to make sure that there aren’t any other fees or charges.
Please advise.

Thanks!!!

Does anyone have experience adding a lap infant to a pre-existing business award?
Do you speak to El al or Qantas?
Can you add at any point, even like a day or two before the flight?
Does there need to be "space"? Like can there only be a certain number of infants in business class?
Can you add a kid before they are born?
Even if they are born do they need a passport to be added?

Thanks so much!

When I try to look up an ElAl flight booked with Qantas points on the ElAl app, I get a message that it cannot find the reservation. Does ElAl have a different PNR for the booking?

When trying to book EL AL Business class and it says there are only 2 seats available, has anyone ever had luck with booking those and then going back and more opened up at some point? Thx!

Does the Israeli consumer protection law regarding canceling tickets 14 after booking apply to ElAl Awards tickets booked on Qantas?
