Qantas Frequent Flyers will have access to over 20 million more reward seats with the launch of Classic Plus Flight Rewards, a new way for members to use their Qantas Points to book flights. This change is one of the biggest ever expansions of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program in its 35-year history and will make it easier to travel to places like London, Tokyo, New York and Singapore with Qantas Points, even during peak times.

The Qantas Group has released its financial results for the first half of FY24, reporting an Underlying Profit Before Tax of $1.25 billion, down 13% from the same period in FY23. This decline is attributed to lower fares as capacity normalizes, with revenue per available seat kilometer impacted by reduced fares.

Qantas introduces a highly anticipated promotion offering its Frequent Flyers the choice between double Status Credits or double Qantas Points for bookings made on any Qantas flight over the next seven days. Members can register through the Qantas App and book flights for travel between February 28, 2024, and February 14, 2025, seizing the opportunity to expedite their progression through Qantas’ Status tiers or accumulate points for future rewards.

The Qantas Group has launched a special sale to encourage Australians to visit North Queensland to support tourism operators and local communities impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper.

Frequent flyers will be able to earn and use Qantas Points when booking live events and experiences, enjoy special pre-sales and access new ticket and travel packages as part of a new partnership between Qantas and Ticketek.
