Qantas, Australia’s largest airline and national carrier, launched its first-ever Qantas Explorer fare sale in India. In partnership with Tourism Australia, the campaign is designed to inspire Indian travellers to discover the unparalleled beauty and adventure of Australia.
This partnership leverages Qantas’ nonstop flights from India and extensive domestic network across Australia for Indian travellers. In a first for Qantas, the airline has unlocked an extra two million discounted Qantas Explorer fares, in addition to its existing discounted offerings, available for booking from 27 October until 26 November, offering unprecedented value for Indian travellers looking to explore Australia's diverse regions.
Qantas Explorer is designed to help international travellers see more of Australia for less. When booked in conjunction with an international Qantas flight from India, travellers can access discounted fares to over 45 destinations, representing a discount up to 20 per cent off the base fare (excluding taxes, fees and carrier charges). This allows for a truly immersive Australian adventure, with suggested itineraries available on the Qantas website that encourage exploration beyond the key gateways of Sydney and Melbourne.
The campaign aims to showcase Australia’s iconic destinations and breathtaking natural wonders, from the vibrant Sydney Harbour and the majestic Great Barrier Reef to the spiritual heart of Uluru and the ancient landscapes of Kakadu National Park.
Nick McGlynn, Executive Vice President, Qantas said, “We're thrilled to partner with Tourism Australia on our first-ever Explorer fare sale for the Indian market. Travel between India and Australia continues to grow and with two million discounted Explorer fares and our direct flights, we're making it easier and more affordable than ever to explore our incredible landscapes beyond Sydney and Melbourne."
According toNishant Kashikar, Country Manager – India & Gulf, Tourism Australia, “India is a vital market for Australian tourism, and this campaign, featuring Ruby the Kangaroo, is a fantastic way to showcase Australia’s unique experiences and warm welcome. This partnership will not only inspire Indian travellers to plan and book an Australian holiday but it will also offer ways for visitors to stay longer and explore more destinations right around the country.”
