Of the common transpacific sale fare classes on Qantas:
- O class will earn ½RDM/EQM and ¼ EQP.
- N and Q classes earn zip.
The good news is that
most of these current sale fares book into
O class.
Here's how to find the booking class:
- Do a dummy booking, but do not complete it.
- At some stage you will see "Total Price = " with a figure.

- Click on the dollar amount and a pop up window should appear. In it will be the base fare and tax total.
Price Breakdown
Adult
Fare 1 x 459.00
Charges/Taxes 271.73
Total Price 730.73 = $730.73 (USD)
- Record the base fare ($459 in the example).
- Look the base fare up on Expert Flyer, KVS or try to do a fare search using ITA. (http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/)
- Match the base fares and you are very likely to have found the correct fare code.
In the example I used, the fare bases is OQF2A, so it does, indeed, book into O class.
