All about Qantas

Qantas, or the 'Flying Kangaroo', are Australia's national carrier and one of the oldest airlines in the world. They also own and run Jetstar and other subsidiaries, and are code-share partners with Air New Zealand (among others). Qantas are known for their high level of service across all routes, and have a very high safety record.

The Qantas fleet currently numbers 131 aircraft, including Boeing 787's and Airbus A380's and A330's. They are part of the 'Oneworld Airline Alliance', which also includes British Airways, Cathay Pacific and American Airlines among others.

Where can I catch Qantas flights?

Qantas fly from Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Queenstown (seasonally) directly to Australia and then onward to a range of destinations. However, all flights from New Zealand will stop at one of the 'hub' cities in Australia (either Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane) in both directions. Many international flights with Qantas may be partially operated by Air New Zealand for the trans-tasman sector.

Qantas fly to over 200 destinations in Europe, America, South America, Asia and the South Pacific, along with their partner airlines. Their main hub is in Sydney, with other major hubs in Melbourne and Brisbane. There are also smaller hubs in Perth and Adelaide.

Making the most of Qantas Sale Deals

Qantas don't run regular sales like their subsidiary Jetstar, however they do have a sale page on their website, and often run destination-specific sales, such as the United States, Australia or Europe.

They also usually have regular sales for Boxing Day (December 26th), Black Friday (after Thanksgiving), End of Financial Year (late June) and others. The best way to check for sales is on their website, sign up to their 'red' emails, or check out our page!
