After 30 years hopping in and out of more than 40 different airlines, one has consistently risen above the rest – Qantas. An experienced world traveler explains why Australian flag carrier Qantas is in the elite of the loyalty ranks in 2025:
Super Crew Service That Feels Personal
From check-in to landing, the Qantas staff inject us with warmth and professionalism. One telling story: A flight attendant on a long wearying delay in Europe brought a first-class pajama set and amenity kit, which had not been offered or paid for, to an economy passenger — who was redeeming the journey with the sense of personal complicity that such moments engender — when she needed it most.
0 Hidden Fees & Value-Driven Perks
Even on the shortest domestic sectors Qantas provides free meals, soft drinks and from noon onwards, beer and wine. Checked baggage is included in the fare, avoiding surprise fees that are a staple with United States carriers. That’s right: No desperate scrounging for overpriced airport snacks.
Oneworld Membership Boosts Connectivity
As a full-fledged member of the Oneworld alliance, Qantas benefits include priority boarding, lounge access and an increased baggage allowance with other airlines. Upside: Frequent travelers will find have easy U.S. connections and access to 600-plus lounges worldwide.
Premium Seat Comfort And Features
It’s fair to say that some of our favorite accommodations from manufacturers such as MilViz, PMDG or Aerosoft find their way onto the 757 Jetliner.
Qantas’s business class has been commended for well-designed suites with generous storage, onboard pajamas and expansive flat-bed seating. On really long routes (like Dallas–Melbourne), passengers have also let us know that they were able to not only sleep the entire 9-hour flight, but as if sleeping in their own bed at home.
In side-by-side testing, Qantas excels in offering special comforts, though some of its carriers just squeak past it on bedding and gourmet cuisine.
Magazine-Worthy Lounges & Culinary Perfection
Qantas spends over $100 million on lounge facilities and food. Regular fliers rave about how the “Sommeliers in the Sky,” chef-designed menus by Neil Perry, barista coffee bars, luxurious showers and music lounges make for the ultimate in-flight experiences.
A Tradition Of Protection & Design Evolution
One of the earliest operating airlines, Qantas was founded in 1920. It is often awarded “world’s safest airline” and its cabins, thanks to design partnerships with Marc Newson and David Caon are cutting-edge and fashionable, all at once.
