QANTAS has announced the expansion of its codeshare deal with Jetstar for travel from Sydney & Melbourne to Thailand.
The updated agreement sees Qantas add its code to Jetstar’s Sydney-Phuket, Melbourne-Phuket and Melbourne-Bangkok services, all of which will be operated by Jetstar’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
Qantas customers travelling to Thailand can now book the direct Jetstar-operated services between Melbourne/Sydney and Thailand in one direction, with a Qantas-operated flight servicing the return leg.
Three flights a week are available under the deal from Sydney to Phuket, while Melbourne has four services to the popular Thai island on offer.
Codeshare flights from Melbourne to Bangkok will run three times weekly.
QF loyalty customers booking on the new shared flights will be able to earn Qantas frequent flyer points, with all passengers able to access Jetstar in-flight entertainment, a free meal and drink, and comfort packs.
Other services available to Qantas travellers on the new codeshare flights include use of transfer buses, Qantas international baggage allowance for the entire journey, and access to Qantas Lounges in Sydney, Melbourne and Singapore for eligible passengers.
