This gives members of their respective loyalty programs to redeem points across both airline networks.
For members of Philippine Airlines (PAL) Mabuhay Miles program and Qantas’ Frequent Flyers, good news has come as both airlines have expanded their frequent flyer partnership.
Under the agreement, Mabuhay Miles and Qantas Frequent Flyer members can now redeem their points across both airlines’ networks.
According to the Filipino flag carrier, this development reinforces its commitment to delivering more value to its loyalty members while broadening partner network access.
Through the deal, Mabuhay Miles members can now use their miles to book flights across Qantas’ international and domestic network, including destinations across Australia and beyond.
List includes key leisure and regional destinations such as Adelaide, Hobart, Byron Bay, and Cairns.
Meanwhile, Qantas Frequent Flyer members gain access to Philippine Airlines’ network, including multiple destinations across the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
The partnership also expands redemption opportunities beyond flights, as members of both programs can use their miles across a broader range of travel and lifestyle benefits, in line with Philippine Airlines’ existing offering of rewards spanning travel, retail, and dining experiences.
The Qantas partnership is the fourth airline collaboration under the Mabuhay Miles program and follows a similar one with Qatar Airways.
“Loyalty partnerships are an important part of extending the reach of Mabuhay Miles and delivering more value to our members,” said PAL President Richard Nuttall.
“Through our partnership with Qantas, we are expanding access to destinations that complement our network, particularly across Australia, while giving members greater flexibility in how they use their miles.”
Meanwhile, Qantas Loyalty CEO Andrew Glance stated that members have frequently used their earned points to get to various destinations and noted the potential of this partnership has for these travelers.
“From the world-class beaches of Boracay to the limestone lagoons of El Nido, these are destinations that feel like a true reward. Members can now build an entire island-hopping itinerary using points, connecting through Manila to some of the most remote and beautiful spots in Southeast Asia,” noted the Australian airline’s official.
PAL operates multiple weekly flights between the Philippines and Australia, providing strong connectivity from Manila to key cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane.
In total, it has scheduled nonstop flights from its hubs in Manila and Cebu to 29 destinations across the Philippines and 40 destinations in Asia, North America, Australia, and the Middle East.
