Qantas released its Early Bird deals today with incredible deals available for your clients plus a few perks for you, the travel agent.

In conjunction with its Early Bird offerings, the Flying Kangaroo launched its biggest ever travel agent incentive with agents being given the chance to win a share in four million Qantas Points – a grand prize to the top seller of one million, 250,000 Qantas Points to the top seller in each state and weekly prizes of 150,000 Qantas Points each week for agents who make a booking and tell Qantas their favourite Early Bird destination.

So whether Agents are selling one ticket or many, there is a chance for everyone to win.

Earning those Qantas points will be a lot easier from now until 11 November 2015 with Early Bird fares extended beyond the raditional UK/Europe Early Bird offering – meaning customers can purchase fares non-stop to more than 250 destinations across three additional continents.

Fares are being progressively published in selling systems today and include fares to London starting from $1,786 or Santiago from $1,399.

There’s also return economy tickets to Paris available from $1,699 or Rome from $1,642.

Clients thinking about a holiday to North America will want to take advantage of the $1,399 return economy fare to New York or $1,599 to Vancouver.

For those dreaming of a South African Safari will LOVE the incredible $1,399 starting price to Johannesburg.

Qantas’ Executive Manager of International Sales said the Early Bird fares are great value for customers planning their 2016 holidays in advance.

“Over the past year we’ve added new destinations to our international network to meet increasing demand.”

“So we’re pleased to include Vancouver in this year’s Early Birds to help people get to a destination they might not have travelled to previously, as well as offering very competitive round-the-world fares.”

Also as part of this year’s Early Birds, Qantas Frequent Flyer is running a free join campaign, meaning new members can save $89.50.

There’s also the chance to earn Qantas Points and Status Credits on eligible.

Did you know a return Economy trip between Sydney and London could earn enough Qantas points to redeem a one-way Economy Class Flight Reward flight between Sydney and Hamilton Island? Or a variety of home, office, personal appliances or a $50 Gift Card from leading retailers at the online Qantas Store?
