Why does this charge appear?
Qantas uses the shortened billing descriptor "QF\*" on bank statements because QF is the official IATA airline code assigned to Qantas Airways, the same two-letter identifier used on flight tickets, boarding passes, and booking references worldwide. When you purchase a Qantas flight, ancillary service, or add-on through their booking system, the payment processor appends this IATA code followed by an asterisk as a prefix to distinguish the transaction type rather than spelling out the full airline name. This is a common practice among major international carriers, meaning if you spot "QF\*" on your statement, it almost certainly relates to a Qantas purchase such as a ticket, seat upgrade, baggage fee, or in-flight service.
What should you do?
Identify your Qantas booking
The QF* charge on your statement is a billing descriptor used by Qantas Airways. Log in to your account at qantas.com and check your recent flight bookings, Qantas Points purchases, or any travel extras you may have added to confirm the charge matches a transaction you made.
Review your booking details
Visit qantas.com/en-vu/manage-booking to pull up your reservation using your booking reference and last name. Cross-reference the amount charged with your flight itinerary, seat upgrades, baggage fees, or any other Qantas services you purchased to ensure the QF* amount is accurate.
Check your Qantas frequent flyer activity
If you are a Qantas Frequent Flyer member, log in to your account on qantas.com and review your points activity and transaction history. Some QF* charges may relate to Qantas Points Club membership fees or points-related purchases that can be verified directly in your member dashboard.
Contact Qantas if something looks off
If the QF* charge amount does not match any booking or service you recall, reach out to Qantas customer support directly through qantas.com before disputing with your bank. Have your booking reference, travel dates, and the exact charge amount ready so their team can quickly identify and clarify the transaction for you.
Is this charge fraudulent?
No, this is a legitimate charge from Qantas. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
