Qantas Launches Passenger Perks

Qantas is offering passengers travelling to Australia a range of exclusive discounts on hand-picked local experiences.

Launched in partnership with Australia’s state tourism organisations, “Qantas Passenger Perks” is designed to encourage more international visitors to the country and add more value to their holiday.

Eligible customers can use their Qantas international flight booking to unlock a range of more than 40 special offers to experience nature, wildlife and culture in capital cities and regional centres around Australia. These include:

- For adventurers, experiences range from 20 per cent off BridgeClimb Sydney to 30 per cent off a surf lesson at the iconic Bondi Beach.

- Food lovers can enjoy offers at select Neil Perry restaurants, the Jacob’s Creek Food and Wine Masterclass and the D’Arenberg Winery in South Australia.

- Nature seekers can go snorkelling with turtles in the Gold Coast, whale watching in Port Macquarie or even fly Western Australia’s Aviair Bungle Bungle Adventurer.

Qantas has worked closely with each state and territory around Australia to select the experiences, with new offers to be added over coming months.

Qantas Chief Marketing Officer, Stephanie Tully, said the hand-picked experiences were designed to encourage more travellers to make Australia their next international holiday.

“As the national carrier, we’re proud to work with our state tourism partners to promote the best of Australia to travellers around the world,” said Ms Tully. “We’ve selected some of the most truly Australian experiences for our customers to access at a special rate when they book their flights with Qantas, catering to all different types of travellers. Our customers already enjoy an all-inclusive experience when flying with us – a generous baggage allowance, premium food and drinks, one of the world’s biggest loyalty programs through Qantas Frequent Flyer and access to Australia’s most extensive domestic network. Qantas Passenger Perks means customers can unlock even more value when they travel to Australia and at the same time, boost tourism to our cities, towns and regional areas.”
