Qantas Club
Qantas Club Corporate Membership
The University of New England has a Qantas Preferred Airline Agreement as part of the Qantas National University Airline Agreement, for Domestic and International Air Travel.
The Agreement provides significant discounts on all published fares, including those of Qantas Codeshare flights.
The Agreement does not restrict the utilisation of other airlines either domestic or international, where appropriate, either for convenience or where other discounts are beneficial.
The Agreement is for a three (3) year term commencing on 1 December 2008, ending on 30 November 2011 and will be managed through the University's Travel Manager, New England Travel Centre.
Resulting from the recent Qantas disputes, as a matter of goodwill and to ensure that universities continue to enjoy the benefits of their current agreements, Qantas has agreed to an extension of the current Agreement until January 2012 which will allow ticketing for forward bookings to be made until the end of April 2012 under the current arrangements.
Qantas allows a 3 months extension on the same terms and conditions from the expiration dates of agreements.
The offer also includes special arrangements with respect to Qantas Club Corporate Membership.
Qantas Club application forms should be completed and returned to the Qantas Club Coordinator, Katy Saint in Financial Services or emailed to katy.saint@une.edu.au. Particular attention should be paid to the information below.
