Qantas has chosen Amadeus, global distribution and technology company, to power their online insurance service on qantas.com, enabling customers to conveniently purchase travel insurance.
The service, provided by Australian insurance company QBE, aims to ensure that more Australian travellers are protected when going overseas by allowing customers to efficiently pay for their insurance policy, whilst booking airline tickets.
“By being part of a streamlined online booking process, we are now able to efficiently meet and fulfill the needs of the traveller” said Peter Andrew, Travel Insurance Manager at QBE Insurance for Asia Pacific.
“This is the first application of this particular technology for Amadeus in Asia Pacific. Customers visiting qantas.com can now purchase insurance as part of the flight booking process, which means it is quick and easy, with no additional input of information required” said David Brett, President of Amadeus Asia Pacific.
The Amadeus service will feature a first time XML direct connect technology that connects to QBE Insurance which searches the insurance provider’s product database and then provides accurate and up-to-date information on insurance policies to customers.
Qantas Frequent Flyer members are entitled to special offers if they use the service, with the purchase of QBE insurance policies giving one point per AUD dollar and the purchase of Annual Multi Trip insurance allowing extra earnings of Frequent Flyer points
