Qantas
For travel before 7 April 2027
Your booking will not be affected by this change. Eligible customers can continue to enjoy existing frequent flyer benefits, including access to Qantas lounges, until 6 April 2027.
For travel on or after 7 April 2027
If you're booked on an Air New Zealand codeshare flight operated by Qantas, Air New Zealand or your travel agent will update your booking to a Qantas flight number. Your flight will remain the same, so there's no need to make a new booking.
You'll also continue to earn the Airpoints™ and Status Points you would have earned on your original booking, where eligible.
Please note that access to Qantas lounges and other reciprocal frequent flyer benefits under this partnership will end from 7 April 2027.
