Qantas have updated their domestic web booking engine and one can now ascertain the exact booking class fare bucket for a domestic flight before purchasing.

You can do it on the website by:

• Doing a flight/fare search for your dates/destination and bringing up the list of available flights/prices,
• looking for the flight/price you wish
• Viewing the page source
• Repeating the following until you find your fare bucket code:
  • search for "addClasse" (it's easiest to simply "Page Down")
  • you will see something like:
    "theRecommandation.addClasse('O');"
  • Two lines above that would be a line similar to the following:
    "var theRecommandation = new Recommandation(0, 103.69);"
  • if the price when rounded up matches the price you are looking for (e.g.156.99 -> 157), then your fare class is that contained in the addClasse search, e.g. ('O')
    e.g.

    Code:

    var theRecommandation = new Recommandation(1, 109.0);
    
    theRecommandation.addClasse('O');

  • if the price does not match repeat until you find it.
• Note that for multi segment options there will be an addclasse line for each segment, e.g. The following is a $1420 2 segment Business class fare in D and J:
  Code:

  var theRecommandation = new Recommandation(42, 1419.7);
  
  theRecommandation.addClasse('D');
  
  theRecommandation.addClasse('J');
