Overview of Qantas Frequent Flyer Redemptions

You can redeem Qantas Frequent Flyer points on the ground for things like:

• Merchandise from the Qantas Store
• Gift cards
• Hotel bookings
• Car hire bookings
• Qantas Insurance premiums
• HOYTS movie tickets
• Wine from Qantas Wine
• Classic Rail Rewards

But you’ll get the best value from your Qantas points by redeeming them in the air. These are the four main ways to redeem Qantas Frequent Flyer points for flights:

• Points + Pay flights
• Classic Flight Rewards (award flights)
• Oneworld Classic Flight Rewards (which can be used to fly around the world)
• Classic Upgrade Rewards (points upgrades)

In general, you’ll get much better value for your Qantas points by redeeming them for a Classic Flight Reward or Classic Upgrade Reward. This chart shows the average value of a Qantas Frequent Flyer point, depending on how it is redeemed:
