Qantas has unveiled plans to introduce a new premium\u202fterminal-to-terminal transfer service for First
customers in partnership with\u202fMercedes-Benz\u202f and Sydney Airport. The initiative will be the first time a\u202fchauffeured\u202ftransit service\u202fbetween airport terminals has been offered in Australia,\u202fdesigned to make international\u2013domestic connections faster,\u202fsimpler\u202fand more seamless.\u202f<\/p>\n

From September to November, Qantas will offer the service to a select group of First customers in a Mercedes Maybach when connecting between T1 (International) and T3 (Domestic). The initiative during this period will be used to seek further feedback from customer, after research showed that First travellers value speed, simplicity and maximising time in the lounge rather than in transit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sarah Udy, Qantas Executive Manager Product and Service said the new service reflects the airline\u2019s commitment to improving the end-to-end premium experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the only airline in Australia to offer this premium transit service, this enhancement is designed to make it easier and more comfortable for our First customers to connect between international and domestic flights after a long journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis service sits alongside the other changes we\u2019ve been making to Qantas First, all aimed at making the
journey for our customers feel more elevated.\u201d<\/p>\n

How will it operate?<\/p>\n

A Qantas Host will meet customers on arrival and escort them through the airport to a waiting Mercedes Maybach vehicle for an airside transfer between terminals. The service will be available to invited customers travelling on a Qantas First Class fare.<\/p>\n

Qantas First is available on services\u202foperated\u202fon\u202fA380\u202faircraft\u202fto destinations including\u202fSingapore, London, Los Angeles,\u202f Johannesburg\u202fand Dallas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The experience complements existing Qantas First benefits such as priority check-in, priority security lanes, priority boarding and access to Qantas First lounges.<\/p>\n

Leanne Geraghty, General Manager Passenger Experience at Sydney Airport, said the new service is a welcome enhancement for travellers connecting through Sydney Airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with Qantas and Mercedes-Benz to bring this new premium transfer experience to Sydney Airport passengers. Making connections between terminals faster, simpler and more seamless is a great win for our passengers, particularly those travelling long-haul and connecting onward domestically.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative forms part of our broader passenger experience strategy to enhance the customer journey at Sydney Airport. By working closely with our airline partners to remove friction points and improve the end-to-end travel experience, we\u2019re helping deliver a more premium and enjoyable journey from arrival to departure,\u201d Geraghty added.<\/p>\n

Said Homero Becerra, Mercedes-Benz Australia\/Pacific CEO, the partnership with Qantas reflects the two brands\u2019 shared commitment to delivering a premium experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Mercedes-Benz, we believe exceptional journeys are defined by every moment along the way. Our partnership with Qantas brings together two brands united by a shared commitment to delivering experiences that are premium, effortless and seamless.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vehicles represent the pinnacle of luxury, craftsmanship and comfort, making it the ideal vehicle for this exclusive transfer service. We\u2019re excited to help set a new benchmark for premium travel in Australia, ensuring First customers enjoy a sense of comfort on the ground as they do in the air.\u201d<\/p>\n

The premium transit service builds on enhancements to Qantas\u2019 First offering, including elevated dining options, exclusive Aesop amenity kits, premium Bollinger champagne and redesigned pyjamas on its Airbus A380 First cabin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Qantas has unveiled plans to introduce a new premium\u202fterminal-to-terminal transfer service for Firstcustomers in partnership with\u202fMercedes-Benz\u202f and Sydney…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[154101,154102,2143,247,5769],"class_list":["post-89861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sydney","tag-maybach","tag-mercedes-benz","tag-qantas","tag-sydney","tag-sydney-airport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
