Take our Ferry and Fly More!
Only Bluebridge crossings earn you Airpoints Dollars that you can redeem on a whole bunch of things, including flights. It’s easy. Simply enter your Airpoints membership number when you book online. Or if you’re booking by phone, have your membership card handy and give them your Airpoints number. The name on your booking needs to match your Airpoints account name so we can join the dots and reward you with your Airpoints. You’ll earn 1 Airpoints Dollar for every $75 you spend on a ferry booking* and it will show up in your Airpoints account within 24 hours of sailing with us.
A few important details
If you forgot to add your Airpoints number at the time of booking, don't worry, as this can be done through your My Bluebridge account or by our call centre up until the time your booking is checked in. Please note that Airpoints Dollars cannot be claimed retrospectively on bookings where the sailing has already been completed.
*Excludes group and freight bookings. Plus any bookings with contracted, corporate or industry rates offered by Bluebridge.
