Residents of Albury-Wodonga can now take advantage of a new capital city connection as Qantas launches flights from Adelaide. 

The national carrier’s inaugural service from South Australia lands in Albury this afternoon, with celebrations at the airport to welcome the first customers. 

Qantas will operate two weekly return flights with its 50-seat Q300 aircraft until 25 September 2022. 

The new service is the only direct connection between South Australia and Albury, saving travellers more than three hours on a return journey compared to alternative flight options via Sydney or Melbourne. 

Qantas now connects Albury with four capital cities: Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide. 

Customers will enjoy the benefits of Qantas’ premium service, including complimentary food and drinks, baggage and lounge access in Adelaide before they fly out for eligible frequent flyers. Ski and snowboard equipment can be included within the checked baggage allowance.
