Have you got a link to the Ts and Cs as they don't read very well in the format on MSE...

Here you go :-

http://www.expedia.com.au/pub/agent.dll?qscr=ffrs&tovr=-1294637292

They aren't set out very well there either though

Edit : - sorry that link doesn't work, they did look just like that on my screen originally though! ( sorry i am not very technical!)

I got them by clicking on the "rules and restrictions" link when the fare came up though

Nothing worrying that I can see?

Which site was this taken from? I suspect expedia.com and not expedia.com.au? Also, this reference to a surcharge reminded me that there was talk on the forum mentioned on page 1 of this thread that some YQ (?) surcharge didn't appear to be added to the cheap flights and that this may be added at the airport? Can anyone shed any light?

lisaloo1977

Thats what i get and i do not see anything worrying.

If they did not want you to book it would not allow you to without a card that was registered in Oz.

It was from expedia.com.au, the link below is to the text I posted ( I don't think the link works but it shows its from the .com.au site)

It has been said many times that the american version of Expedia will not let you book at all. The australian site gives you the option to book and actually asks for your country. It then goes on to say that all fares are complete and all charges have been added. If you look on another thread on here the person who originally posted this in june actually emailed them and had a response back saying that it was fine no further charges would be applied. They had said they were a uk resident, booking from uk, to travel from uk with a uk credit card.

I will try dig the post out.
