We’ve introduced a number of health and safety measures to limit the contact that you may have with others as you check in and proceed to your departure gate.
Contactless check-in - complete check-in using the Qantas app or online; save time and help us minimise crowding at check-in kiosks and service desks.
If you're travelling on an international flight, on your day of departure, proceed to the airport check-in counters located in the Departure area to check in and drop your bags.
Self-service Bag Drop - if you have a Q Bag Tag, you can use this when flying within Australia. If you have completed your check-in using the Qantas app or online, proceed straight to the self service bag drop (available at select airports) to check your bags. Alternatively, our check-in kiosks are available to print tags for checked baggage.
Social distancing - implemented throughout the airport.
Enhanced cleaning - highly frequented areas are cleaned regularly.
We’ve re-opened some Australian domestic Qantas operated lounges and you’ll notice we've made some temporary changes to your experience.
Entry requirements - you'll be required to provide your contact details as part of COVID-19 contact tracing requirements.
Capacity restrictions - social distancing rules apply, therefore access may be impacted by current government requirements.
Hand sanitising stations - installed throughout the lounge.
Amended services - hosted food and beverage services replace our traditional self-serve buffets.
Regular cleaning - highly frequented areas are cleaned regularly.
As you make your way to your designated departure gate, our Fly Well program continues.
Social distancing - in waiting areas at departure gates and when boarding to minimise crowding.
Hand sanitising stations - available at departure gates.
Fly Well packs - collect your pack, containing a face mask and sanitising wipes, at the gate before you board.
Boarding - self-scanning of boarding passes.

While the risk of inflight transmission remains extremely low, we’ve introduced additional safety measures and updated our inflight services.
Cabin air - our aircraft air conditioning systems are fitted with hospital-grade HEPA filters, which remove 99.9% of all particles including viruses. The air inside the cabin is refreshed every few minutes, ensuring the highest possible air quality.
Fly Well pack - the face mask and sanitising wipes in your pack are for use inflight, and additional sanitising wipes are available on request. We strongly recommend you wear your face mask while travelling and masks are currently mandated on selected flights across our network. For more information see wearing face masks.
Inflight - once seated, our crew will ask you to limit movement around the cabin. The aircraft configuration, including the seats and galley, act as a natural barrier, and people are not seated face to face. The direction of inflight airflow is ceiling to floor.
Amended services - we've temporarily reduced our food and beverage offering. Our inflight entertainment is also temporarily paused and we recommend you bring alternative material for your entertainment on longer flights. Our inflight magazine remains available digitally. Refer to temporary inflight and airport services for more information.
Enhanced cleaning - our aircrafts are cleaned with a disinfectant effective against coronaviruses, with a focus on the high contact areas of seats, seatbelts, overhead lockers, air vents and toilets. Our people are trained in the latest hygiene protocols.
Some Australian states and territories, and international governments, have introduced measures, including additional health and safety protocols, in response to Coronavirus. Check the latest government travel requirements for your destination.
