Unlock Exclusive Rewards and Loyalty Benefits for Frequent Flyers
Oman Air recently announced an expanded partnership with Qantas that will allow members of each airline’s loyalty programs to redeem points across both networks. This partnership opens up Oman Air’s extensive Middle Eastern, European, and Asian network to Qantas Frequent Flyer members, while Oman Air’s Sindbad members gain access to Qantas’ expansive routes across Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific.
The airlines’ existing interline partnership will soon offer:
- Redeemable Miles: Sindbad members can redeem miles on Qantas flights, and Qantas members will enjoy the same benefit on Oman Air flights.
