Your Qantas year in review (2025)

[Himeno]

CBR-SYD-JFK-ORD-LAX-BOS-STL-DFW-DOH-AMS-HEL-CPH-LHR-SIN-HND-HKG-SYD-CBR (DONE4 JAN/FEB)
CBR-MEL-NRT-MEL-CBR (J award JUN)
CBR-MEL-NRT/HND-SYD-CBR (positioning/start of DONE4 JL to NRT/QF back in AUG. Trip cont in FEB)

It says 11 (QF) flights, so it's either counting QF3 as 2 flights (one per sector) or it's counting the QF codeshare on JL36.

It counted the two legs of QF1 as 1 international flight not 2. I made the top 5%.

It mentioned I achieved WP (I retained it) and my LTS though I already achieved that a previous membership year.

 

[flyingfan]

Top 10% of flyers for me... I'm dropping down from P1 soon so not surprising.

(Cue the frequent flyers saying there are still nine flying days left in the year!)

 

[TeaKozy]

Top 1% with 98k from 37 flights. Seems less than previous years? Wonder if it includes JQ (brains trust seems to suggest it excludes OW).

Top 1% points earner with 745k.

 

[RooFlyer]

With 97,000 points earned, they say I am in the top 10%. And with 16 QF flights for 32,000 km they say I am in the top 10% of flyers too.

I really find that hard to believe or else the QFF is in a bit of strife. I only earned QFF points on QF flights and Uber this year. Edit: and a case of wine.

 

[esquire]

68 flights this year and just over 100K kms (63 domestic) so that got me into the top 1%

 

[Invisible Monkey]

Based on my Flighty stats I flew 40 flights, broken down as eight domestic & 32 international and 147,080kms covered. most of them booked as economy but a high % of the Qantas flights were upgraded to Business.

I'm also 20 SC short of retaining Platinum with seven months before my year re-sets (July 31 2026).

I've never achieved either Platinum One or Points Club+ but will retain Points Club fairly easily and I'm just 985 SC short from Lifetime Gold.

Interesting that the delta between the top end of points earners isn't that big - I was top 5% points earners and only earnt 60k fewer than you did.

Suspect the majority of FFers haven't earnt that much over the year. With @Invisible Monkey as a data point, I've now seen examples of anywhere from a ~400K earn through to almost 10x that fall into the Top 1% bracket, so assuming it's at all accurate, then that gives an idea as to what the bulk of members are earning on average.

 

[Big John]

I wonder how many points is Top 1% points warner?
I earned 700K points and used 1.1M points.

I only earned 415K points and am still in the top 1% of points earners.
Looks like it doesn't take very much to be a top 1% earner !

 

[mviy]

Interesting that the delta between the top end of points earners isn't that big - I was top 5% points earners and only earnt 60k fewer than you did.

I earnt a lot less than you and still made the top 5% with under 250k points earned for the year.

 

[Up in the clouds]

Just got the summary email.
A number of flights missing.
Maybe they are only counting QF metal flights, no codeshares and no partner flights?
I was also in the top 1% of flyers and points earners.

This was a somewhat interesting stat:

I think you can divide that 178000 flights by lets say 55 flights (my total) and you end up with 3236.. So that means there are between 3000 and 4000 Platinum Ones ???????

I'm also in the top 5% albeit with under 200K points earned

 

[Up in the clouds]

I was surprised to be top 1% with only 55 flights..

Yikes teehee

Based on figures reported from QF staff here and in other forums over the years, I think the rolling number of 3-4k P1s sounds similar to what has been mentioned in the past.
Who knows what the current figure is, or how much it changes every month.

The stats would be more meaningful if they only included members who had earnt a point and/or took a flight.

I guess it works in their favour to include inactive members to make everyone feel special.

I didn’t take a VA flight or earn a velocity point but I’m sure I made everyone else’s stats look better.

 

[kpro]

I am surprised to be in top 5% of flyers as I was a long way off gold… hoping for gold in 2026! I was on top 1% of points earners…

Now that makes me think it's based purely on the number of flights rather than SC/Points earned or distance travelled etc.

It has to be distance (KM) based. I have 28 flights and only about 30,000 KM's which put me in the top 15%.

Mostly flew a lot of domestic triangle route this year.

I also like how they updated the 'city you flew the most to' logic to exclude your home city.

They didn't say I was in the lowest section - I've been LTG for several years
