MASCOT: Qantas will give ten fully vaccinated Australians a free year of unlimited travel on Qantas and Jetstar, covering both domestic and international flights.
The airline plans to launch its ‘vaccination contest’ within the coming months, with entry open to all Australians who have been fully vaccinated by the end of 2021.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce today confirmed that each of the ten “super-prizes” would be “unlimited flying for a year.”
“You could fly to New York every week, to London every other week,” he said, with domestic Qantas and Jetstar flights also on offer – although the airline has previously advised that all those free flights will be in economy class, which might weekly trips to New Zealand a little more appealing than New York.
The airline has previously said that each of the 10 top prize packs would cover a family of up to four.
Discounts on regular flight bookings plus free serves of Qantas Points and status credits could also be offered to Australians who are fully vaccinated by the end of 2021.
Joyce also said that runner-up prizes could include 1,000 Qantas Points and “discounts on Qantas and Jetstar fares.”
Hotel giant Accor will also chip in with one million of its own loyalty points “worth tens of thousands of dollars in free accommodation”, along with free fuel from Qantas partner BP.
“We’re hoping to get the technology ready within the next few weeks or months to get people to register,” Joyce said.
