If an agency chooses not to register for the Qantas Channel they will by default remain in the Public Channel. Agencies that remain in the Public Channel:

1. Will not have access to Qantas Distribution Platform content.
2. Will no longer be eligible to sell all existing ATPCO Qantas published and private fares^{^} in N, Q, O and E class for itineraries that commence in Australia or New Zealand.
3. Will be subject to a Channel Fee applied per Qantas marketed flight segment (subject to certain exceptions). For further information, please refer to the Qantas Channel Fee Policy Document.
   

Important Information

Disclaimer: Disclaimer:^{^}Private fares include negotiated corporate fares. 

The Channel Fee applies to bookings made by agencies that are not participating in the Qantas Channel. If your agency is not participating in the Qantas Channel, an AUD17.50 Channel Fee will apply per Qantas marketed flight segment (subject to certain exceptions)^*. The Channel Fee amount is automatically priced and collected at the time of ticketing for all tickets issued or re-issued on or after 1 August 2019.

^*For further information please view the Qantas Channel Fee Policy Document.

Agencies wishing to avoid the Channel Fee should ensure their agency is participating in the Qantas Channel.

Registration for the Qantas Channel remains open. View more information on how to register for the Qantas Channel.

When your agency registers for the Qantas Channel your agency is required to provide relevant information about the agency to Qantas. This information is necessary to enable Qantas to set-up the agency in the Qantas Channel and ensure that the agency has access to Qantas Channel content.

Any changes to the information you provide Qantas during the initial registration should also be updated to ensure ongoing access to Qantas Channel content.  

If your agency wishes to access the benefits of the Qantas Channel, you are required to register for the Qantas Channel.

In order to register for the Qantas Channel, each agency, including those agencies who ticket via a Consolidator, will require a TIDS, IATA or ARC accreditation in each country in which they operate. Such operation includes having a Pseudo City Code or Office ID in that country. Agencies that do not have a valid IATA, TIDS or ARC should apply for TIDS accreditation prior to registration. TIDS, IATA and/or ARC numbers of each agency must be supplied to Qantas at the time of registration.

Accessing the Qantas Channel involves three steps:

1. Agencies must agree to the Qantas Channel Terms and Conditions^{^} and provide relevant agency information to Qantas. 
2. The agency will then need to discuss and agree new commercial terms with their GDS. 
3. Once Qantas has been informed by the GDS that the agency and GDS have entered into a new agreement, the GDS has validated the agency information and Qantas has accepted the agency into the Qantas Channel, Qantas will advise the date that the agency will be able to access Qantas Channel content.

Qantas Agency Connect will reflect your agency’s Qantas Channel registration status. This information will be available to the agency owner within My Agency Profile under the manager login.

Qantas Agency Connect will show the relevant Office IDs/Pseudo City Code for each agency. Each agency is responsible for validating all agency information in Qantas Agency Connect, including ensuring any PCCs displayed in Qantas Agency Connect are accurate and up to date.

If an agency is using a consolidator/ticketing agency for ticketing bookings made in the Qantas Channel they should nominate these consolidator/ticketing agencies in their profile in Qantas Agency Connect.

If an agency's details change after the agency is granted access to the Qantas Channel, including the addition of new PCCs, the agency should update these details via Qantas Agency Connect.
