Qantas customers are getting an upgrade to their travel experience as the national carrier prepares for one of its busiest festive seasons on record, with millions of customers set to travel over the holidays.

Just in time for Christmas, Qantas has unveiled its festive fleet including QantasLink Q400 ‘Dasher-8’ and Boeing 737 ‘Roo-dolph’ decked out in Christmas livery. Customers travelling on these aircraft throughout December will earn double points as part of a number of surprise and delight initiatives by the airline. A Qantas Freight A321 aircraft decorated with ‘Santa’s Freight’ livery is also set to transport thousands of presents and festive fare across the country in the coming weeks.

Also rolling out in time for the festive season are a number of customer experience enhancements including new seasonal international first and business inflight menus, a new First lounge menu and a refreshed beer offering across the network.

Qantas Group Chief Customer and Digital Officer Catriona Larritt said “We know our customers, especially the youngest ones, love flying on our special festive aircraft and so we are delighted they are making a return in 2024.”

“Our teams have been working hard over several months to prepare our operations to be ready to help millions of customers to see their family and friends throughout the holiday season.”

New seasonal inflight and lounge menus designed by Qantas’ Creative Director of Food, Beverage and Service Neil Perry will be dishing up premium Australian producers including Margra Lamb, Glacier 51 Toothfish, Wollemi Duck, Coppertree Farms Butter and Skull Island King Prawns.

In the days leading up to Christmas, traditional festive fare with all the trimmings will be served across selected domestic and international lounges including a Qantas signature Christmas cocktail. This activity falls part of a number of enhancements to the customer experience over the holiday season, including airport activations and surprise and delight gifting for customers which will be revealed in the coming weeks.
