Qantas Loyalty announced a strategic technology partnership with Expedia Group on September 30, 2026, to overhaul the digital booking experience for Qantas Hotels & Holidays and Jetstar Holidays. Under the agreement, Expedia Group B2B will power the end-to-end experience using its Composable Agentic Template. The new platform is designed to allow customers to book packages, earn, and redeem Qantas Points in a single place.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The partnership reframes hotel loyalty programs as infrastructure and a revenue driver, rather than solely a marketing tool. The platform will feature machine learning-powered recommendations and allow holiday packages to be bundled with premium cabin seating and partner codeshare flights. This deep integration aims to improve digital self-servicing for Qantas.
