All Qantas international fares include checked baggage allowance, food and beverages and inflight entertainment as standard with every booking.<br \/>Qantas recently announced it would accelerate a program to introduce \u2018fast and free\u2019 Wi-Fi across its existing fleet of international aircraft including A330 aircraft, with enough bandwidth for every passenger to enjoy a fast and consistent connection. The service will be progressively rolled-out on Qantas flights between India and Australia from next year. Qantas International CEO Cam Wallace said that the demand for travel between India and Australia continues to be incredibly strong. &#8220;So we\u2019re pleased to be responding with extra flights to Sydney.<br \/> These additional flights are timed to carry more travellers to Australia in summer, while also helping more families and friends reconnect over the holiday period,\u201d he said. Bangalore International Airport Chief Operating Officer Satyaki Raghunath said: \u201cWe are delighted by the impressive success that Qantas has experienced at BLR Airport. This expansion, commencing in the first half of December 2024, will deliver added convenience and flexibility to travelers from South and Central India, offering them a wider range of options for both business and leisure travel.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n
