Qantas shakes up its frequent flyer program, promises more rewards seats
Qantas is promising its Frequent Flyer members will have better access to reward seats, under a new program option.
Classic Plus Flight Rewards will make it āeasierā to travel on Qantas marketed and operated flights to destinations like London, Tokyo, New York and Singapore, the airline said in a statement on Monday.
Booking seats will āusuallyā require more points than existing Classic rewards seats because amount needed to book will vary like normal airfares.
However, Qantas said the new option will ārepresent some of the best value across the frequent flyer program with much wider availabilityā, even during peak periods.

Under the current Classic rewards option, five million seats are available a year on Qantas, Jetstar and partner airline flights.
āItās one of the biggest expansions weāve made to the Frequent Flyer program in its 35-year history,ā CEO Vanessa Hudson noted.
