Then vs Now: Qantas' Partner Airlines in 2005

You can currently redeem Qantas points to fly with 26 partner airlines. This is exactly the same number as in 2005, but the list of airlines looks very different now compared to two decades ago.

Seem to have double counted LA as an existing and former (albeit as LAN). Also worth noting that despite leaving OW, there's still a reciprocal lounge arrangement (as well as earn/burn points).

Go back just a little and Canadian Airlines would be there under OW (before being gobbled up by AC)...

Going forward by just a few months, MALEV would have been there - albeit short lived... and later Air Berlin and Mexicana...(sadly all gone).

Only two more months before Oman Air is a full OW partner.

Ahhh yes, the Air Pacific B747. Loved flying on those to Fiji.

At the risk of being burned as a heretic, J rewards 20 years ago would have been earned largely in the air. Today every man and his dog has the points to grab a classic reward from credit cards etc. not hard to see why so many are throwing their points at Classic Plus.
