Kerr gets a lift from Qantas
By admin


Miranda Kerr has once again donned her Qantas ambassador cap to promote the airline's upcoming chauffeur service, part of its tie-up with Emirates.

The supermodel's photo shoot, which took place in Los Angeles, illustrates the new Chauffeur Drive service which will see passengers collected in a luxury vehicle and driven to the airport to catch their flight. Another chauffeur service will then collect them at the other end to take them to their final destination.

It will be rolled out as part of its global airline partnership with Emirates from April 2013.

Qantas passengers travelling in First and Business on flights from Australia to Dubai and London will be the first to benefit from the new offering, with other long-haul destinations to be added from mid-2013.

The shoot took place during a week of activity by the airline in the US which included its Spirit of Australia event, involvement in the G'Day USA promotion and the announcement that Ellen DeGeneres will visit Australia in March to film episodes of her chat show.
