Qantas Frequent Flyer Program Partners
As any member of the Qantas Frequent Flyer (also known as QFF) club knows, there are many ways to earn air miles with Qantas which can be exchanged for free flights, free or discounted seat upgrades, and many other benefits. The most obvious way is to book flights on Qantas, but flying on other airlines can get Qantas air miles too as can using a Qantas linked credit card to make purchases. Although there are other airlines that have deals with Qantas to allow you to earn Qantas frequent flyer miles, the following are also participants in the oneworld Alliance Airlines partnership of leading international and regional carriers.
