Qantas has just announced its latest Twice-as-Rewarding offer, allowing you to earn either double status credits or double points on flights booked until 11.59pm 2 March 2026, for travel between 3 March 2026 and 12 February 2027.
If you’re flying Qantas from Samoa, Tonga or Palau, eat beforehand and bring your own snacks as there is limited food available on board – even in Business Class.
Qantas now offers extra-legroom Economy Plus seats for free to Gold & Platinum frequent flyers, or for a fee to anyone else.
You can travel in comfort by using your Qantas Points to book Premium Economy Classic Reward seats, but only on selected partner airlines. Qantas have still not added Premium Economy redemptions on Air France, KLM, Finnair and Iberia, as of January 2026.
Instead of holding Platinum status with either Qantas or Virgin Australia, could it make better sense to get Gold status with both airlines for a similar amount of flying (and spend)?
