Oneworld members Qantas and LAN have strengthened their codeshare agreement by adding routes in Australia and South America.
Passengers flying with LAN from Santiago to Sydney, will have access via Qantas Australian cities: Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, Darwin, Hobart and Alice Springs, starting on August 9.
For Qantas passengers flying to Chile, they can fly with LAN from Santiago to Antofagasta, La Serena and Punta Arenas from August 5. They can also fly from Santiago to Lima and Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro on round-trip flights from October 8.
Qantas executive manager international sales, Stephen Thompson, said: “Santiago is a key gateway for our customers and this development will strengthen its prominence as hub for onward connections, offering the additional customer benefits of a codeshare service - more opportunities to earn frequent flyer points and luggage checked straight through to their final destination,” he said.
