Qantas — Cancelled international flights / flight credits (2020-2022)

Customers who held unused Qantas flight credits or tickets for international flights cancelled during 2020-2022. The Echo Law class action settled for $105 million subject to court approval, and Qantas began contacting more than one million customers about eligibility in 2026. Individual amounts depend on the final distribution scheme.
