Qantas has confirmed 12 international routes will return by January
With Victoria now joining New South Wales in saying said that it plans to open up to vaccinated visitors from 1 November with no quarantine requirements, and with the Australian government under increasing pressure to open up its borders to international travelers, Qantas is pushing forward with getting its global route network restored and it has now confirmed the international routes that it will start/restart in the coming months.
Qantas announces “Massive Release of Reward Seats” for 2022
We've already seen evidence of Qantas chomping at the bit to get flyers traveling internationally again when it brought forward the resumption of two key routes last week, and now the airline has shown more evidence of wanting to get people back in the air by announcing that it has released more award seats than ever before for travel in 2022.
Qantas Offering Bonuses Of Up To 25% On Points Transfers [Targeted]
Ok, this is a very niche deal. With Australia essentially shut to incoming and outgoing travel, there probably won't be very many readers looking to convert their flexible currencies into Qantas points but, just in case this is of help to someone (and because Qantas is promoting the fact that you can now earn elite status points from points transfers), I thought I'd write about this promotion nonetheless.
Amex Is Offering A 20% Transfer Bonus To Qantas Frequent Flyer [Possibly Targeted]
American Express added Qantas Frequent Flyer as a transfer partner for the Membership Rewards program back in June last year and we’ve seen it offer a few transfer bonuses in the intervening months…and now we have another one.
Book Great “Round The World” Awards With This Citi Transfer Bonus
We've used to seeing Amex Membership Rewards offering frequent transfer bonuses to some of the loyalty programs it partners with but transfer bonuses offered by Citi's ThankYou program don't appear all that often...so it's always nice when one turns up.
Qantas Is Offering 50% More Points On Eligible Flights…But There’s A Catch
Qantas is sending out emails to members of its frequent flyer program offering double points on all eligible Qantas flights taken by 31 January 2020. On the face of things that sound pretty good...but there's a catch.
NOW LIVE: Capital One Is Offering A Bonus On Transfers To Qantas Frequent Flyer

Qantas is currently running a promotion in which it’s promoting its “Qantas Red” email newsletter by offering a discount off a Qantas international Economy/Premium Economy fare (departing the US) or a one-time pass to a Qantas Business Class lounge in Australia.
Qantas Overhauls Its Frequent Flyer Program (Things Could Have Been A Lot Worse)
On Tuesday we were given a heads up that Qantas was going to be using a Thursday morning press conference to announce sweeping changes to its Frequent Flyer program, so the past 48 hours can't have been much fun for a lot of travelers down under. When airlines change their frequent flyer programs it's rarely good news for flyers so, understandably, quite a few people were expecting the news to be pretty bad (me included).
Qantas Will Announce Big Changes To Its Frequent Flyer Program On Thursday
Let's face it, it's rarely good news when an airline or hotel chain tells us that it's planning to make some changes to its loyalty program so the fact that Australian Business Traveller is reporting that Qantas will announce "sweeping changes" to its frequent flyer program on Thursday is cause for concern.
Qantas Is Now An Amex Transfer Partner & There’s A 20% Conversion Bonus On...
American Express added Qantas as the 19th airline transfer partner for its Membership Rewards program late last week and we already have our first conversion bonus on offer which is valid for transfers made through 30 June 2019.
Qantas To Operate An Airbus A380 Just For Points Redemptions (I Love This!)
Qantas appears to have come up with a pretty cool idea. Later this year the airline will need to fly an Airbus A380 to Tokyo from where it will operate a charter flight for whoever has chartered the aircraft and, rather than flying an empty aircraft to where it is needed, the Australian carrier will operate the A380 as a points-booking-only flight to Japan's capital city.
Get 30% Off Qantas Economy Classic Flight Rewards (Book By 25 March)
Qantas has brought back a promotion I last remember seeing back in 2017 and it's offering travelers a 30% discount on the number of points required for Economy Class 'Classic Fight Rewards'.
Earn Double Qantas Points For Bookings Before 16 November [Possibly Targeted]
Ok, this one's on me. Qantas has been offering double points on bookings since Monday and I've only just noticed. This may or may not be a targeted promotion - 3 out of 3 accounts that I have access to all got the promotional email so, if it's targeted, it could be quite a broadly targeted promotion.
Qantas Offering Double Status Credits For Travel Into 2019!
My Qantas frequent flyer account is registered in the US and sees no activity whatsoever. Historically I've credited all my oneworld flights to American Airlines AAdvantage and now I'm crediting them to the British Airways Executive Club.....but Qantas clearly wants me to given them a try.
Qantas Offering Double Miles & Double Status Credits On Select Flights (Possibly Targeted)
Qantas and Emirates recently announced that they would be looking to extend their partnership for a further five years (albeit with a route change or two thrown in) and now, to celebrate the partnership, Qantas is offering double points and double status credits on select routes.
American Airlines Dismisses Reciprocal Upgrade Idea
Last Thursday I highlighted a piece from Australian Business Traveller (ABT) which indicated that American Airlines and Qantas were considering reciprocal points upgrades (presumably as a...
American Airlines & Qantas Considering Reciprocal Points Upgrades
American Airlines and Qantas have recently got a lot closer than just being OneWorld partners thanks to a joint venture agreement signed last year....
