TODAY is Jeans for Genes day, and the normally dapper Star Alliance gm Australia Brian Garside has donned the denim in honour of the charity.
And no, that’s not a moth fluttering away from his wallet – it’s cold hard cash which is on offer to consultants.
This year’s Star Alliance incentive sees agencies ticketing alliance fare products any time during Jul and Aug in the running to win up to $1000
– plus a $100 donation to
Jeans for Genes for each ticket.
Also as a special Jeans for Genes day bonus, agents who ticket a Star Alliance product today (05 Aug) will receive a $100 voucher per ticket – and the Alliance will also donate $200 per ticket today to Jeans for Genes to help support vital research into childhood diseases.
For more information look out for your casually clad Star Alliance member carrier rep today, or visit www.airnzagent.com.au or the travel agents section at www.thaiairways.com.au.

Star Alliance member carrier reps took to the streets on Friday to collect money for Jeans for Genes and raise awareness of the Star Alliance Travel Agent Incentive, which is currently generating much needed funds for the charity.
Attached are a collection of photos from the team down in Melbourne – Julie Stingel (United), Neil Westaway (Air Canada), Kieran Wall (Thai Airways), Anita Zotti from Air China, Alice Zhang (also from Air China). Brad Crawford (Thai Airways), Rolf Huber (South African Airways), Kerrin Trenorden (Thai Airways), Sue Burgess (Air NZ) and Neil Cawthray (Thai Airways) – who raised almost $500 from generous travel agents.
Agents can continue to raise money for Jeans for Genes by ticketing any Star Alliance fare before August 31. For each ticket sold Star Alliance will donate $100 to Jeans for Genes and at the end of the incentive period the agency selling the most tickets during July and August will win up to $1000.
For more information just visit www.airnzagent.com.au or the travel agents section on the THAI website www.thaiairways.com.au.
