Find Award Flights with Qantas Frequent Flyer

What is Qantas Frequent Flyer?

Qantas Frequent Flyer is the loyalty program offered by Qantas Airways. Members earn Qantas Points by flying with Qantas, oneworld alliance partners, and other participating airlines, as well as through spending with various retail, travel, and financial partners. Points can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, hotel stays, car rentals, and other products and services. The program is tiered, offering different levels of membership (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Platinum One), each with its own set of privileges such as priority boarding, additional baggage allowance, and lounge access.

What's New With Qantas Frequent Flyer in 2025?

• Increased Reward Seat Availability. In 2025, Qantas is adding up to 1 million more Classic Reward seats, including in premium cabins, through partnerships with airlines such as Finnair, Air France, KLM, Iberia, and Hawaiian Airlines.
• Boosted Points Earning on Domestic Flights. Starting July 2025, members will earn up to 25% more Qantas Points on base earn rates for Qantas domestic flights. Additionally, the earn cap for tiered members traveling in premium cabins will be removed, allowing for greater points accumulation.
• Lower Cost Rewards with Jetstar: For the first time, members can use Qantas Points to upgrade to Business on Jetstar international flights. This coincides with a major revamp of Jetstar’s Boeing 787 Dreamliners, doubling the fleet’s business cabin capacity.
• Increased Points Required for Redemptions: From August 2025, the points required for Classic Flight Rewards and Classic Upgrade Rewards will increase. For example, an economy seat from Sydney to Melbourne will rise from 8,000 to 9,200 points, and a business class seat from Sydney to London will increase from 144,600 to 166,300 points.

Classic Flight Rewards vs. Classic Plus Flight Rewards

Qantas offers two main types of reward flights: Classic Flight Rewards and Classic Plus Flight Rewards. Here’s how they differ:

Both reward types share the following characteristics:

• Upgradeable
• Flexibility to combine between cabins and fare types in the same booking
• Same reward change and cancellation fees
• No points or Status Credit earn (except for Points Club members)

Note: Any additional charges for Classic Plus Flight Rewards changes are payable in cash, with a change fee in points.

How many Qantas Points for a flight?

The number of Qantas Points required for a flight varies based on destination, class of service, and demand. While Qantas provides a Classic Flight Rewards table outlining the points needed for various routes, recent changes effective from August 2025 have increased the points required for many routes. For example:

• Domestic Flights: An economy seat from Sydney to Melbourne has increased from 8,000 to 9,200 points.
• International Flights: A business class seat from Sydney to London has risen from 144,600 to 166,300 points.

It's important to check the latest points requirements on the Qantas website or through the Qantas app, as these can change and may vary based on factors like peak travel periods and seat availability.

How much are Qantas Points worth?

Generally, Qantas Points are worth around 1.5 to 1.7 cents each and vary depending on how they are redeemed. On average:

• Flights: Points are typically worth around 1.2 to 1.5 cents each when redeemed for flights.
• Upgrades: Using points for upgrades can offer higher value per point, especially on long-haul international flights.
• Other Redemptions: Redemptions through the Qantas Store or for gift cards often provide lower value per point compared to flight redemptions.
