Qantas Travel Insider Launches to Help Travellers Plan the Perfect Trip

Qantas launched the latest addition to its travel site qantas.com on Monday, with the unique and comprehensive resource - Qantas Travel Insider.

Qantas Group General Manager Sales and Distribution, Mr Rob Gurney, said Qantas Travel Insider would prove to be the perfect tool for travellers planning their ideal holiday.

 “Qantas Travel Insider combines stories by respected travel writers from our popular award-winning inflight magazine Qantas The Australian Way, together with the opinions and insights of Qantas Frequent Flyers, Qantas Ambassadors and our most regular travellers - our pilots and cabin crew,” Mr Gurney said.

“In a first for Australia, we have developed a platform that allows Qantas Frequent Flyers to share their travel experiences with others and provide unique first-hand reviews of destinations, accommodation, restaurants and bars, entertainment, shopping and other activities, in a user-friendly, searchable format.”

Qantas Travel Insider launches with more than 500 quality articles as well as a range of City Guides which will help travellers learn all they need to about a destination including addresses, phone numbers and websites to attractions, venues and restaurants.

Qantas Frequent Flyers have been given exclusive access to the site so they can submit their comments and reviews in time for the official launch to the general public later this month.
The site also has an RSS feed that customers can subscribe to.

“Qantas Travel Insider further reinforces qantas.com as a truly comprehensive one-stop travel site,” Mr Gurney said.

With the very best travel advice from Qantas Travel Insider, and easy online booking for flights, hotels, travel insurance, cars, activities and experiences, qantas.com makes planning and booking a holiday as easy as possible.

Qantas is celebrating the launch of Qantas Travel Insider by giving travellers the chance to be a guest travel writer and win one of 12 unique weekends away for two people to write about an Australian destination.
