Qantas

Qantas has some incredibly flexible fares to Europe that allow us to build far more than a simple return journey. Using Qantas EH/AP fare options, Europe remains your main destination, but the permitted routing can open up opportunities to travel via the Americas, Africa and other regions along the way.

Instead of flying Australia – Asia – Europe and returning the same way, we can construct journeys that continue around the globe. Think Australia – Los Angeles – New York – London, then home from Europe via another permitted gateway. Depending on the fare, routing and cabin, there are numerous ways to piece the journey together using Qantas and selected partner airlines.

This is what makes these fares so useful. You are not buying a traditional oneworld Round-the-World ticket; we are taking a Qantas fare to Europe and using its routing rules, stopovers and airline combinations to build a much bigger trip around it.

Flying to Europe doesn’t necessarily mean travelling through Asia or the Middle East. Selected Qantas fares allow us to take you in a completely different direction, turning the journey to Europe into part of the holiday.

Via the Americas
Travel from Australia across the Pacific with Qantas, then build in destinations such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, New York or Vancouver before continuing across the Atlantic to Europe. Selected partner airlines can be used to connect the pieces, creating some fantastic multi-stop combinations.

Via Africa
Africa can also feature in selected fare constructions, giving us another way to link Australia and Europe while incorporating an African stop into the overall journey.

And you don’t necessarily need to choose just one. Depending on the fare rules and your destinations, we can investigate combinations that use different regions in each direction, creating a genuine multi-continent journey with Europe as the central destination.

The real flexibility comes from the airlines we can combine with Qantas. Selected partner airlines can fill gaps in the Qantas network and significantly expand the destinations available.

Across North America, Qantas and American Airlines provide extensive connections, while British Airways can link North America with Europe. Other permitted partners open further possibilities across Africa, Asia and the South Pacific.

For Qantas Frequent Flyers, we can prioritise eligible flights and booking classes that earn Qantas Points and Status Credits while maintaining oneworld benefits where possible.

These are complex, manually constructed fares, and that is where Airfare Geeks comes in. Tell us your destinations and preferred cabin, and we’ll work through the EH/AP routing possibilities to build the best Qantas fare for your trip.
