Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines System - SAS, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways International, United Airlines and VARIG Brazilian Airlines. Points can be redeemed for flights to more than 800 destinations worldwide across I 12 countries.

Ansett customers can also earn points with other partners including Diners Club, Avis Australia and a variety of hotels and resorts. For frequent air travellers and business class passengers the benefits of becoming a Global Rewards member are even more significant. The more points accumulated, the greater the

benefits - from priority baggage handling and extra baggage allowance, to free upgrades and access to Star Alliance lounges across the world.
