Qantas the undisputed king of Aussie domestic travel, says Roy Morgan
Qantas nabbed two of three major travel gongs in Roy Morgan’s recent Customer Satisfaction Awards - but which rewards credit cards can help maximise your free travel with the flying kangaroo this year?
Aussie’s taking to the air simply can’t get enough of our oldest running airline with Qantas taking out both Domestic Airline and Domestic Business Travel Airline of the Year for 2017.
Roy Morgan CEO, Michele Levin said that the airline has dominated customer satisfaction ratings - particularly in the Business Travel category - for a number of years now.
“Australia’s longest-running airline is also highly attuned to the needs of business travellers, winning the Domestic Business Travel Airline of the Year with ease,” she said.
“Winning a monthly award for customer satisfaction is no easy feat, and to pull it off every month of the year in 2017 is truly remarkable.”

Travel-happy Aussies looking to board a Qantas flight entirely fuelled by rewards points this year need to choose their plastic wisely, however.
In fact, Mozo’s annual rewards survey conducted last year found that rewards card value had plummeted by a whopping 63% on the previous year, with the average rewards card delivering just $27 of value to customers.
So if you’re in the market for a piece of plastic that will help you nab a free Qantas flight this year, but still want to make sure you’re getting good value - check out these three Mozo Experts Choice Award-winning rewards cards now.
