QF Airline Code: Qantas IATA & ICAO
Qantas is stored in this dataset as IATA code QF and ICAO code QFA, based in Australia. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
QF is the IATA airline designator stored for Qantas. ICAO is QFA. Country of record: Australia. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example QF 456. Agents should not confuse QF (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with QFA (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other Australia carriers stored here: VA (Virgin Australia), JQ (Jetstar). To decode a full itinerary that markets QF, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find QF at the start of the flight line in the PNR.
- Paste the full itinerary into the PNR parser (or the GDS-specific parser if you know the host).
- Confirm the carrier name resolves to Qantas.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
Example segment: 2 QF 456 H 26OCT 5 WLGAKL HK1 1945 2050 The parser should set marketing carrier QF (Qantas) and flight 456. Class H is a fare bucket, not proof of cabin without the booking-class tool.
