To the other person who said that ETAs were valid for 3 months, they are valid for 1 year from date of issuance.
As Qantas wants to charge you $25 US for this apparently, I was wondering if it's not cheaper to go to the appropriate official website directly and get charged the fee in Australian dollars instead?
