Qantas increases number of points required to book a Classic Reward seat

Qantas has announced a number of changes to the structure and benefits in its frequent flyer programme. From August 2025, the number of points required to book a Classic Reward seat will increase. It previously increased in 2019.

“A lot has changed in the last six years. These adjustments will ensure we can continue to invest in enhancing the program for the long-term and continue to grow the levels of Classic and Classic Plus Reward seat availability for members year on year,” said Qantas Loyalty CEO Andrew Glance.

“With a number of airlines making changes to their loyalty programs recently, we wanted to give our members as much notice as possible so they can plan their future travel. That’s why our reward fare changes won’t come into effect for at least another six months.”

 

The new loyalty program changes to be rolled out for members over the next 12 months. Changes include:

Boosting the number of points members will earn on Qantas domestic flights by up to 25 per cent and removing the earn cap for tiered members travelling in premium cabins, set to deliver almost four billion additional points for members each year.
The introduction of the lowest one-way Economy reward seat in Australia, with Jetstar short haul domestic flights in Australia and New Zealand for 5,700 points, helping members to earn their reward seat faster.
Unlocking up to 1 million more Classic Reward seats, with flagship partners Finnair, Air France, KLM and Iberia in premium cabins, and across the entire Hawaiian Airlines network.
