Qantas
This is my favourite airline, the flying kangaroo from Oz, enjoy some good old aussie hospitality on your way to Asia or Australia. Queenland and Northern Territory Aerial Services the world’s oldest continuously running independent airline. Their economy class is top notch, tasty meals, superb aussie wines, Magnum ice creams, fresh fruit, hot coco and herbal tea’s, hot towels and a snackpack full of goodies and snacks for when you’re watching a movie from your inseat entertainment system. And last but not least, yes they serve Australian beer ( VB and Tooheys). And yes Qantas never crashes!!!
Its main international hubs are Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, Melbourne Airport and Brisbane Airport. However, Qantas operates a significant number of international flights into and out of Singapore Changi Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, London Heathrow Airport and Perth Airport. Its domestic hubs are Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane airports, but the company also has a strong presence in Perth, Adelaide, Cairns and Canberra airports. It serves a range of international and domestic destinations.

Qantas Frequent Flyer
The Qantas Frequent Flyer program is designed to reward customer loyalty. Points are accrued based on miles flown, with bonuses that vary by travel class, and can be earned on oneworld airlines as well as other partners. Points can be redeemed for flights or upgrades on flights operated by Qantas, oneworld airlines, and other partners. Co-branded credit cards are issued by American Express and ANZ Bank, and a number of other credit cards earn points that can be transferred to the Qantas Frequent Flyer program.
To join the program, passengers living in Australia or New Zealand must pay a once off joining fee, and then become a Bronze Frequent Flyer (residents of other countries may join without a fee). All accounts remain active as long as there is points activity once every three years. Flights with Qantas and partner airlines earn Status Credits — and accumulation of these allows progression to Silver Status (oneworld Ruby), Gold Status (oneworld Sapphire) and Platinum Status (oneworld Emerald).
