Aussie travellers have a new flexible friend with the Flying Kangaroo launching an innovative type of club membership.
Available from today, Qantas Club Flexible allows customers to pay for 28-day access to the national carrier’s 30 branded lounges in Australia and around the world, including domestic and international business.
An alternative option to the annual Qantas Club membership, the new rolling scheme can be cancelled at any time up until three days prior to renewal (with benefits remaining till the end of that cycle).
Other benefits include domestic on departure upgrade rewards and complimentary Qantas Frequent Flyer membership.
“We have been focussed on listening and responding to customer feedback over the past 12 months and we know our customers are looking for flexible options when it comes to lounge access,” said a Qantas spokesperson.
“Qantas Club Flexible gives customer the choice to enjoy the benefits of our Qantas lounges in a time frame that suits them – the perfect option for travellers who don’t fly every month.”
Qantas Club Flexible members will receive a digital membership card only via the Qantas app, which aligns to the Qantas Group sustainability goals.
For customers who take out a Qantas Club Flexible membership and travel before March 31, 2025, they will receive a bonus benefit of additional checked baggage.
Qantas has recently announced significant investment into its lounge network including:
# A new lounge in Hobart with almost double the capacity and will showcase local Tasmanian produce
# Redevelopment of the Adelaide lounge precinct including refurbishment of the Adelaide Qantas Club and a new Business lounge
# Refurbishment of Broome Qantas Club.
Qantas Club Flexible membership costs $99 for each 28-day period.
