Upcoming Webinar:
How to Book a Qantas Oneworld Award |
| |
 |
|
The Qantas Oneworld Award is one of the best uses of Qantas Frequent Flyer points. For a fixed amount of Qantas points, you can fly around the world on Oneworld airlines with up to 5 stopovers, 16 flights and 35,000 miles travelled!
The Oneworld Award is available in Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First Class. At 280,000 Qantas points per passenger, a round-the-world ticket in Business Class is arguably the sweet spot.
The possibilities are almost endless when it comes to booking a Oneworld Award. But, for this very reason, it can be difficult to know how to maximise the value. Booking a Oneworld Award can also be quite complicated, as award availability is limited and these bookings can't always be processed online.
In the upcoming Frequent Flyer Solutions webinar, Matt will present a masterclass in booking the perfect Qantas Oneworld Award. This webinar is a must-see for anyone that wants to put their Qantas Frequent Flyer points to good use!
