Flying on a Finnair operated Airbus A330-300, for Qantas
Enjoy the same level of comfort and service you’d expect from a Qantas flight when you fly onboard an A330-300 operated by our trusted oneworld® partner Finnair, for Qantas.
About
From late October 2023, our oneworld® partner Finnair will operate selected international flights on our behalf to support the strong demand for international travel. These additional aircraft will allow us to connect more customers with the people and places they love.
Finnair has a longstanding history with Qantas and is a part of the oneworld® alliance. Just like Qantas, Finnair provides their customers with an exceptional inflight experience and holds a strong safety record.
From 29 October 2023, select services between Sydney and Singapore will be operated by Finnair for Qantas, as well as services between Sydney and Bangkok from 31 March 2024. These can be identified by their unique flight numbers: QF291, QF292, QF295 and QF296.
What to expect from your flight
While these services will be operated by Finnair and look a little different to our aircraft, we've worked very closely with the Finnair team to ensure these flights meet the same exceptional level of comfort and service customers expect from Qantas. Customers can still look forward to enjoying Qantas inflight dining, entertainment and amenities onboard these flights.
There's no change to the flight schedule or check-in process. You can still check-in using a QF flight number through the Qantas App, or at the Qantas kiosks and check-in counters at the airport. There are also no changes to your carry-on or checked baggage allowances.
Your Qantas Frequent Flyer benefits will still apply as normal, including the opportunity to earn Qantas Points, Status Credits and Status Bonuses, enjoy additional checked baggage and access Qantas and partner lounges (where applicable).
