Qantas and KLM will codeshare between Australia and Amsterdam.
Qantas has struck a codeshare deal with Netherlands flag carrier KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
The Australian national carrier will place its code on KLM’s daily flights between Singapore and Amsterdam and KLM’s code will appear on Qantas international flights between Singapore and Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
Qantas Frequent Flyers will be able to earn points and status credits on the Qantas-coded flights and eligible customers will be able to access the KLM lounge in Amsterdam.
Qantas International CEO Alison Webster said the deal provided customers with more choice.
“It offers our customers another option to get to Amsterdam via our Singapore hub with more opportunities to earn status credits and Qantas Points,” Webster said.
Tickets for the new codeshare services will go on sale 01 Nov, for travel from 08 Nov.
