Qantas also added more than 50 new codeshare routes from Dallas-Fort Worth and Chicago on American’s network.
Both airlines will offer increased mileage accrual for their members
Members of AAdvantage can earn up to double elite qualifying miles and elite qualifying dollars on eligible Qantas flights.
Qantas Frequent Flyer members can also now earn more Qantas Points and Status Credits on American flights.
