Qantas has announced a new partnership with Bangkok Airways, which allows its Qantas Frequent Flyer members to book Classic Flight Reward seats to more than 20 destinations across Thailand and Southeast Asia.
Under the agreement, which launches today, passengers will be able to access Bangkok Airways flights from Australia via Bangkok, Phuket and Singapore, three of Australians’ most popular overseas holiday spots and destinations to which Qantas operates more than 50 flights per week.
Qantas Loyalty CEO Olivia Wirth said Qantas Frequent Flyer was thrilled to welcome Bangkok Airways to the program, joining more than 45 existing QFF partners.
“We want our members to be able to use their Qantas Points on reward seats to as many destinations as possible and our portfolio of partner airlines means they can choose from hundreds of locations across the globe,” Wirth said.
“Thailand is one of the most popular destinations for our frequent flyers and this partnership will make it easier for them to explore more of the region using their points.
“The option to book reward seats on Bangkok Airways’ expansive network across Thailand and South East Asia will also open up thousands of new redemption opportunities.
“Reward seats continue to be great value and there are millions available for booking now across domestic and international routes for the next year on Qantas, Jetstar and our partner airlines.”
More Classic Rewards seats
The new deal expands on a codeshare arrangement with Bangkok Airways from 2014 and follows QFF initiatives for members to use their points on more flights including 100,000 Classic Flight Reward seats between Australia and Japan.
It also underlines the flying kangaroo’s pledge to commit 50 per cent more reward seats on flights until June 2023.
