Who is the company you booked with.
There are becoming an increasing number of online websites, including for travel bookings, which appear to be Australian but infact aren’t. They can have a .com.au web address and also present information on their websites (like Australian flags or indicate they may be present in Australia by displaying an ABN and a office address which may be an empty desk at a communal office building) but be located overseas somewhere. When they are located overseas, they will incur a foreign exchange transaction fees which they pass onto the customer…or the customer incurs such fees when booking through these sites from their credit/debit card provider or financial instituions.
Such has also been covered by other posts on this forum…
Unfortunately in today’s age of the internet, businesses can be located anywhere even thiugh they appear to be Australian from their websites.
They also ‘prey’ on Australians which tend to prefer booking/buying locally…which is why they create their websites to be deceptive.
It is worth doing some searches to see where the business is located and whether additiinal charges are incurred.
