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 2026?

• Increased Reward Seat Availability: Qantas added up to 1 million more Classic Reward seats in 2025, including in premium cabins, through partnerships with Finnair, Air France, KLM, Iberia, and Hawaiian Airlines. This expanded inventory remains in place in 2026.
• Boosted Points Earning on Domestic Flights: From July 2025, members earn up to 25% more Qantas Points on base earn rates for domestic flights. The earn cap for tiered members in premium cabins was also removed, allowing greater accumulation on business class travel.
• Jetstar Business Upgrades with Points: Members can now use Qantas Points to upgrade to Business on Jetstar international flights — enabled by a major revamp of Jetstar's Boeing 787 fleet that doubled business cabin capacity.
• Updated Points Requirements: Classic Flight Rewards and Classic Upgrade Rewards increased from August 2025. For example, economy from Sydney to Melbourne now costs 9,200 points (up from 8,000) and business class from Sydney to London is 166,300 points (up from 144,600).
• Points Club and Points Club Plus: Qantas offers Points Club (earn 100,000+ points/year) and Points Club Plus (earn 250,000+ points/year) tiers for non-flying members, granting bonus points on partner spend and retail redemptions.

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.
