QANTAS RAMPS UP DIGITAL EXPERIENCE

November 5, 2021/in Airline News

Qantas has released a range of new offerings as part of their customer experience as international flights resume. These new offerings join the return of much-loved customer favourites (yes, this includes pyjamas and amenity kits!) as the airline resumes international flights.

“We have redesigned our digital booking experience with world-first technology to help our customers easily navigate the post COVID-19 world…Some things haven’t changed including our world class premium service. Our customers can expect a mix of new initiatives and a return of many favourites, all designed to make them feel right at home again the minute they step into one of our lounges or on board our aircraft.” said Qantas Group Chief Customer Officer, Stephanie Tully.

Let’s have a look at what’s new to enjoy, and what’s coming back.

Digital Solution

Qantas will roll out a revamped digital booking and pre-departure experience that will be tailored to each customer’s journey. The roll out will assist with navigating their international travel based on what the government requirements are at their time of travel.

Some of the features will include:

Before you book, destination specific travel requirements are available for customers on the Qantas website.
After you’ve booked, travel requirements will be emailed to customers upon booking and linked to the upcoming interactive Travel Ready section of their website.
Customised pre-departure reminders will be in play, which involves Emails/SMSs to customers seven days, four days and one day ahead of departure with links to relevant information.

In very exciting news, the new digital experience will include a seamless integration with the IATA Travel Pass. This will make travelling overseas stress-free by giving you the option to upload your vaccine and testing documents to be cleared before you get to the airport.

In addition and to allow for extra preparation time, Australian airport check-in for international flights will also open an hour earlier than pre-COVID.

New Menu

From November onwards, Qantas will roll out a new menu across its international flights and in the lounges including a number of new plant-based options. For a bit of nostalgia, iconic Australian ice-creams will also be added to the inflight menu including Paddle Pops and Splices.

The new menu roll out will also include a signature cocktail – the Qantas Sky Spritz – developed by SOFI to celebrate the return to international skies featuring Australian botanicals including Davidson Plum and Finger Lime. Yum!

Fly Well Amenity kits will continue to be available onboard and move towards being more sustainable which includes compostable cups being rolled out on all international flights.

We can’t wait to board just reading this news from Qantas!

QANTAS BRINGS FLIGHTS FORWARD

November 4, 2021/in Airline News

In another step towards reopening, Qantas brings forward international flights from Melbourne including destinations such as London and Singapore.

Qantas will bring forward international flights from Melbourne following the Victorian Government’s decision to remove quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated travellers returning from overseas from November. The decision was made possible due to the accelerated roll-out of Victorians getting vaccinated. Good for you Victoria.

“The decision made by the Victorian Government to remove quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated travellers will make it easier for people to take the trips they’ve been longing to take.” said Qantas Group CEO, Alan Joyce.

The updated international schedule includes:

Melbourne to London, brought forward to 6 November 2021. Operations will start at two days per week but quickly ramp up to daily from 18 December 2021
Melbourne to Singapore, brought forward to 22 November 2021. This is three weeks ahead of what was scheduled, operations starting at three days per week and again ramping up to daily from 18 December 2021. Jetstar will also begin flying to Singapore, operating four times a week. This route hasn’t flown since 2019!
Qantas is offering the first three return services across both routes as Points Planes, making them available to frequent flyers across every cabin as Classic Flight Reward Seats. They will also be available for regular flight bookings.

Looking Forward

As of this week, Victorian customers can also now book onward flights to other international destinations including Los Angeles (1 November), Fiji (7 December), Johannesburg (5 January) and Bangkok (14 January) via Sydney.

Important Information for international travellers

We can’t wait to see you travelling again, however, there are some important things to know before you depart.

Initial flights are limited to Australian citizens, permanent residents and their immediate families and parents in line with current Federal Government requirements.
All passengers on Qantas and Jetstar international flights (aged 12 years+) will be required to be fully vaccinated with a TGA-approved vaccine (unless they have an exemption).
As part of Federal Government requirements, customers on these flights will also be required to return a negative COVID test from an approved PCR testing site within 72 hours of departure.
The Victorian Government requires all passengers travelling to Victoria to take a COVID test within 24 hours of arriving.
Customers are advised to check government requirements for the destination they are travelling to. Customers who book international flights before 28 February 2022 can make ‘fee free’ date changes when travelling before 31 December 2022.

MORE NEW ROUTES FROM QANTAS

April 6, 2021/in Airline News

As the prospects of domestic borders remaining open improve, and travellers’ confidence grows, it’s great to see the national carrier connecting more dots across the country and over the sea.

Melbourne, meet Newcastle.

This week, Qantas launched direct services between Melbourne and beachside ‘Newie’, New South Wales’ second-largest city and gateway to the Hunter Valley—one of Australia’s major wine regions.

The airline will operate 12 weekly return flights with its 125-seat Boeing 717 aircraft, adding more than 3,000 seats between the two cities each week.

While clearly offering superb leisure travel options for travellers heading in either direction.

“We expect this service will also be popular with our corporate travellers based in Newcastle. Flights are available at peak times in both directions and customers will enjoy the benefits of our premium service, including complimentary food and drinks, baggage and lounge access before they fly out.”
QantasLink CEO John Gissing

We think they’ll be popular too.

New Norfolk Island Flights

Qantas’ latest services are not quite international, but they’re not far off.

For three months from 19 March 2021, with the potential to extend for the longer term, the Flying Kangaroo will operate six flights per week to the Australian territory in the South Pacific.

Three flights will depart from Sydney and three from Brisbane, and will be operated by Boeing 737 aircraft, offering 2,000 seats on the routes each week.

The services will maintain critical passenger and freight connectivity with the Australian mainland, and provide travellers with an exciting new holiday destination.

“With international borders closed, we know Australians are looking for new holiday experiences and Norfolk Island is a destination that has so much to offer.”
Qantas Domestic & International CEO, Andrew David.

Fares from Sydney start from $412 one-way and from Brisbane from $390 one-way and are on sale now.

QANTAS SETS SIGHTS ON SNOWFIELDS

March 11, 2021/in Airline News, Flights

Anticipating strong demand for skiing this Australian winter, Qantas has just announced the launch of three new seasonal routes to the snow.

“We, too, expect this to be a strong ski season regardless of the snow conditions. Australians are itching to travel, and our snowfields are some of the country’s most spectacular scenery and divine travel experiences. We look forward to helping fill those flights,” said Sarah Bush, Co-Founder & Director of The Travel Authority Group.

From 01 July to 26 September 2021, Qantas will operate three new routes to Cooma and Albury, gateways to the New South Wales and Victoria snowfields:

Sydney to Cooma – flights will operate three days per week.
Brisbane to Cooma – flights will operate two days per week.
Brisbane to Albury – flights will operate three days per week.

Fares for flights between Sydney and Cooma start at $179 one-way, and flights from Brisbane to Cooma and Albury are available from $239 one-way.

Remember, you can use your American Express Membership Rewards Points to book and pay for anything at The Travel Authority Group.

From Cooma, skiers can access Perisher Valley, Thredbo and Charlotte Pass in New South Wales. While Albury offers great access to Falls Creek and Hotham resorts across the border in Victoria.

All flights will be operated by QantasLink’s turboprop Q400 aircraft.

Complimentary food and drinks will be offered on board, and ski and snowboard equipment can be included as part of the checked baggage allowance.

“These new flights are also good news for local businesses, hospitality and tour operators in the region, helping drive tourism and reviving the industry that has been hurting from COVID-19,” said QantasLink CEO John Gissing.

Flights from Sydney to Cooma are timed to allow travellers to depart after work on a Thursday or Friday and return Sunday evening, which enables them to enjoy a long weekend of skiing without needing to drive.

To help offset some of the uncertainty on borders, Qantas is offering unlimited flight changes through to at least February 2022, for flights booked until at least the end of April 2021.
