QANTAS GROUP TO SLASH WASTE TO LANDFILL, PLASTIC IN MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL PUSH
† if a point is worth 2¢
So, with the LHR example, I pay $47 to garner arguably† 940¢ worth of QF points.FREQUENT FLYER ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVE
As part of its broader approach to sustainability, the Qantas Group enables customers to fly carbon neutral when they book through qantas.com (opens in new window)[1] (opens in new window). From mid-2019, customers will earn 10 points for every dollar spent offsetting their travel from Australia. For example, a return Melbourne to London flight would equal $47 and earn members 470 Qantas Points. It is the highest standard earn rate of any Frequent Flyer initiative and is designed to increase the take-up of carbon neutral flying[2] (opens in new window).
“Around 10 per cent of passengers already choose to offset their flights so we’re hoping that the added incentive of earning Qantas Points helps to boost this number,” added Mr Joyce.
