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)?
Qantas is increasing the number of points you need to book Classic Reward seats on Emirates. It comes as children under 9 and Bronze frequent flyers are also barred from accessing Emirates First Class reward seats.
There are a lot of things you can get with 100,000 Qantas Points, such as return Business Class flights to Fiji or up to five return Qantas domestic Economy flights.
