October 19th 2021
Australians are looking at a frequent flyer windfall after Qantas Airways today announced its biggest ever single release of award seats. Read More » The flag carrier is promising millions of seats will be available across international and domestic routes after almost two billion points have been redeemed since October 1. Qantas frequent Flyer members will have access to up to 50% more reward availability on international, trans-Tasman and popular domestic routes until the end of the year. This includes seats across the group and on 45 international partner airlines such as Emirates Airline, Cathay Pacific Airways and American Airlines. The airline also will release more “points planes” where every seat in all cabins is available as a reward seat. “Throughout the pandemic, many Qantas Frequent Flyers have been stockpiling points they have earned on the ground so they can use them to travel once travel restrictions are lifted,’’ the airline said. “With members keen to travel internationally and domestically we have released more reward seats to make it easier for our frequent flyers to use their points to go on holidays and be reunited with family and friends in 2022.” As an added incentive, the Australian carrier is not charging fees to change or cancel international Classic reward seats bookings for travel until the end of next year.
