Qantas Expands Codeshare Agreement with IndiGo

(24/01/23) Qantas has expanded its codeshare partnership with IndiGo to offer customers even more travel options across India.

The Australian carrier launched the first phase of its codeshare agreement with India’s largest domestic carrier in August of last year, providing travellers with seamless connections from Qantas flights in Bengaluru and Delhi onto IndiGo services to other major Indian cities such as Mumbai and Chennai, as well as smaller destinations like Pune and Goa.

Under the second phase of the agreement, Qantas passengers can now travel to an additional eight cities, bringing the total number of Indian destinations available for connection from Delhi and Bengaluru to 21.

Qantas customers will also have more choice across IndiGo’s domestic network with more than 250 new flights available for booking.

Qantas Frequent Flyers can earn and redeem points on connecting IndiGo flights (with the QF code) and IndiGo recognises Qantas Frequent Flyer benefits for tiered members (Silver, Gold, Platinum and Platinum One) including priority check-in and priority baggage.

Qantas customers travelling on IndiGo can carry the same baggage allowance as their flight from Australia as well as receiving complimentary food and drinks.

“Our codeshare partnership with IndiGo has improved the way our customers travel between Australia and India, and the additional destinations give travellers even more options,” said Qantas Chief Customer Officer, Markus Svensson. “The new codeshare flights will allow our customers to enjoy more connections across India from our Delhi and Bengaluru gateways and have their luggage checked straight through to their final destination. Our frequent flyers in particular benefit from booking these flights, with more opportunities to earn points and status credits.”

New codeshare destinations include: Chandigarh, Guwahati, Indore, Jaipur, Mangalore, Nagpur, Thiruvananthapuram and Visakhapatnam.

Existing codeshare destinations are: Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Patna and Pune.

Qantas currently operates four return flights from Melbourne to Delhi per week and four return flights from Sydney to Bengaluru per week.
