Jetstar/Hooroo/Qantas

What It Is

Jetstar/Hooroo/Qantas represents the hotel distribution channel operated by Hooroo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qantas Group, which powers accommodation bookings on both Qantas.com and Jetstar.com. Hooroo launched as a standalone booking engine in 2012, designed to aggregate hotel inventory for Australian consumers browsing the Qantas Group's digital properties.

Who It Serves and How to Connect

The channel serves leisure travelers — particularly Qantas Frequent Flyer members who can earn and redeem Qantas Points on hotel bookings. Properties are listed across the Qantas and Jetstar booking interfaces, giving hotels access to a large, loyalty-driven Australian consumer base. Hotels connect through the Qantas Hotels extranet or via channel manager integrations that carry the Qantas/Hooroo connection, allowing real-time rate and availability synchronization.

Specialty and Reach

The Qantas Group's strong brand recognition and large frequent-flyer program (one of the largest in the Asia-Pacific region) make this channel particularly valuable for hotels targeting Australian outbound travelers and inbound visitors arriving on Qantas or Jetstar flights. The loyalty integration — Points Plus Pay functionality — differentiates this channel from generic OTAs and tends to attract high-intent, higher-spending travelers.
