About Qantas
Qantas is Australia's national airline and a founding member of oneworld. Sydney is its main hub, with Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth also handling international flights. At home it connects the state capitals and, through QantasLink, a wide range of regional towns. Abroad it flies to New Zealand, the Pacific, Asia, North and South America, South Africa and Europe. International aircraft carry Business, Premium Economy and Economy, with First on selected aircraft. Jetstar, the low-cost airline, is part of the same group.
Australian itineraries often mix long-haul and domestic sectors, and both can be searched on IATA.co in the booking portal or through the flights API. Qantas fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. Bookings are paid from your prepaid balance. Check the operating carrier on each leg, because some QF flight numbers are operated by partner airlines, and read the fare rules before you confirm.
Qantas airline codes explained
Qantas uses the two-letter IATA airline code QF and the three-letter ICAO code QFA. The IATA code QF is the one shown on tickets, fare displays and booking screens, while the ICAO code QFA is used in air traffic control and flight planning.
Qantas is a full-service carrier, based in Australia, operating mainly from Sydney (SYD). It is a member of oneworld.
Booking Qantas fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book Qantas fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live QF fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. Qantas results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
Search Qantas (QF) through the flights API
Developers and agencies can run the same Qantas search from their own site, app or back office through the IATA.co flights API. Filter a search by the carrier code QF and read the fares back as JSON, then book from the same prepaid balance. See the flights API and the API docs for the full reference.
