Change of Travel Management Company (TMC)

A change of Travel Management Company (TMC) occurs when a corporate customer changes from one TMC to another and requires the stored ticket credits to be managed.

Qantas provides authority for the transfer of existing credits to the new TMC. These tickets are serviced by the Qantas Agency Connect Team.

  • A written notice is to be provided to the Qantas Account Manager advising the TMC change and effective date.
