Agent Rebate (AD) Travel Policy

From 1 December 2023, Qantas will be withdrawing Agent Rebated Travel. Any tickets issued will be eligible for travel within the validity of the authority received from Qantas.  Qantas will still introduce exclusive travel agent fares and promotions to destinations on the Qantas network, on an ad-hoc basis only.

Agent Rebate Travel (AD) discounts are available to staff of IATA/TIDS Travel Agency locations for travel on Qantas operated and marketed flights only.
