Qantas
Our partnership with Qantas
Qantas connects you to more than 80 destinations in 20 countries from its hubs in Australia. When you fly on Qantas, you can earn and redeem AAdvantage® miles, plus, enjoy the benefits of your AAdvantage® status.
Earn miles
You can earn AAdvantage® miles when you fly on Qantas marketed and operated flights and Qantas codeshare flights operated by Qantas affiliate airline QantasLink, or other oneworld® carriers.
Here's how:
- Buy an eligible published fare ticket in an eligible booking code
- Fly an eligible route
The number of miles you earn depends on the flight distance and the fare class of your ticket.
When you earn eligible AAdvantage® miles for travel on Qantas, you'll also earn Loyalty Points that count toward qualifying for AAdvantage® status.

**We calculate Elite Qualifying Miles (EQMs) and Elite Qualifying Dollars (EQDs) based on a percentage of the distance flown as determined by the booking code. Elite bonuses don’t apply to EQMs or EQDs.
If the booking code for the ticket you buy isn’t listed in the tables, you won’t earn AAdvantage® miles or Loyalty Points.
Travel ticketed as an American Airlines marketed flight (booked as an AA flight number) and operated by Qantas will earn AAdvantage® miles and Loyalty Points according to the American mileage accrual chart.
Exceptions
You can’t earn or redeem AAdvantage® miles or earn Loyalty Points on Qantas codeshare flights operated by Jetstar.
Redeem miles
Use AAdvantage® miles to book award travel on Qantas, including itineraries with oneworld® and partner airlines.
AAdvantage® status benefits
When you fly on Qantas and its eligible affiliate airlines, your trip counts toward qualifying for AAdvantage® status and receiving additional benefits when traveling.
