Qantas partner airlines page... Airlink There, No Qatar ...

[n1k]

Not sure if anyone else is surprised (I mean, QR is a OW airline after all!), but I just noticed as Airlink has been added, Qatar seems to have dropped off entirely...

Freudian slip?

At least QR is still here:

I don’t think it’s a mistake. Other oneworld airlines missing too (inc AT and IB). Guess this list is just airlines that have flights sold by QF.

No more QR anymore so this would just be a clean up.

Whereas this is actually the oneworld (and partner) list.

Ah, yes, I see.

I guess this could just be named the "Qantas and Qatar bad beef thread" as the fallout continues...

But without Airlink added yet, haha

Actually I just checked wayback and QR was never there (page created 2020)

I don’t think there is a frequent flyer partnership, just a codeshare.

Isnt Airlink now partly owned by QR?

Yes, 25% owned by QR now so happy for the QF folk to give more money to the good guys

There's only seven of thirteen current oneworld members listed.

oneworld Members: Airlines In The oneworld Alliance

The oneworld Alliance member airlines include Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines and more.

www.oneworld.com

Aside from QF itself, IB, MH, QR, AT, & RJ are not present.

Making this entire thread pointless

Not really - it does bring to the fore Qantas' priorities when it comes to "partners" ...

Reasonably clear to anyone sitting on a plane / in a lounge reading the inflight mag….although still not up to date…

It’s as simple as whether QF sells QR flights. Have they ever?

Meanwhile QR is still selling some QF flights.

Network and partner airlines​

Make everywhere feel possible with Qantas and our partners. Explore more than 95 Qantas destinations and over 1,300 destinations worldwide with our partners.


The only qualification on the OP's linked page is that you can explore many places with these partners. Why not simply list all 'partners' and 'explore' much more of the world? You can get QR, MH and IB etc flights on a Qantas ticket.

Some partners are more equal than others, but everyone knows that.

Consistently inconsistent.

No it’s perfectly clear. The listed partners are sold on the QF website / via QF directly.

The others require a travel agent

Not rocket science.

What about classic rewards? IB, RJ, MH all possible on the QF website...

I think @RooFlyer's "Consistently inconsistent" comment summed it up.

That’s what the other page is for. That lists the frequent flyer partners.

If you want to throw stones, QR still lists Air Berlin

Well, obviously its NOT 'perfectly clear' - what you say may be what they mean, but it doesn't actually say anything like that, does it? All it says you can fly on these guys, our partners, to over 1,300 destinations.

I guess we are not going to agree again but anyone can read what the page the OP linked to actually says.

Done.

Hope we can redeem Airlink soon.
