Qantas Frequent Flyers Can Earn WestJet Dollars

Members of the frequent flyer programs of Qantas and Canadian airline WestJet can now earn their choice of Qantas Points or WestJet dollars when travelling on flights of either airline thanks to a reciprocal frequent flyer agreement.

“We are thrilled to team up with Qantas to bring significant benefit to guests of both airlines,” says Bob Cummings, WestJet executive vice-president, commercial. “We are confident that our members are going to love earning WestJet dollars while flying on the Qantas global network, and we are equally excited to welcome Qantas frequent flyers aboard and offer them a new opportunity to earn Qantas Points everywhere WestJet flies.”

Qantas Frequent Flyers can also redeem Qantas Points on Qantas code-share flights operated by WestJet, giving Qantas Frequent Flyers access to numerous WestJet destinations throughout Canada and the USA when connecting to or from a Qantas international service. WestJet and Qantas are currently working on plans to introduce fully reciprocal redemption for both airlines in 2017, so WestJet members will be able redeem on Qantas flights and Qantas Frequent Flyers will be able to redeem on WestJet flights.

“Not surprisingly, travel is the number one interest of Qantas Frequent Flyers so we know our members will be excited about being able to earn and use their points when travelling with WestJet,” says Lesley Grant, Qantas loyalty CEO. “Qantas Frequent Flyer has more than 50 airline partners and affiliates, which gives our members access to over 1,200 destinations and this partnership with WestJet opens up even more new routes for them to fly while earning and using their Qantas Points.” www.qantas.com
