QF reward seat bonanza

QANTAS Airways has released a massive amount of reward seats for next year for Frequent Flyers, to celebrate the reopening of Australia’s borders next month.

Millions of seats are now able to be booked with points, in the largest single release of additional Classic Flight Reward seats in Qantas’ history, across its international and domestic network.

From today, Frequent Flyers will have access to up to 50% more reward seat availability on popular routes until the end of next year.

Frequent Flyers can use their points to book one of millions of reward seats across both Qantas, and Jetstar, as well as more than 45 international partner airlines.

Qantas is also getting set to launch more Points Planes, where every seat in every cabin on a flight is available to book as a reward seat, as more states and territories ease domestic and international travel restrictions.

“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,” said Qantas Loyalty Chief Executive Officer Olivia Wirth.

“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.

“There’s no doubt we will appreciate travel in 2022 like never before and Qantas is excited to help Australians rediscover the joy of flying and making travel memories with their loved ones.”

Frequent Flyers can book their flights with no fees to change or cancel an international Classic Flight Reward seat booking for travel until the end of next year, on bookings made by the end of Feb.

Qantas is also offering even more value when booking hotels and holiday packages, providing 25% off when you use points.
