Qantas Frequent Flyer loyalty programme members will now have access to over 20 million additional reward seats, the airline has announced, with the launch of ‘Classic Plus Flight Rewards’ symbolising one of the biggest ever programme extensions.
‘While usually requiring more points than the existing Classic reward seats, Classic Plus will represent some of the best value across the frequent flyer program with much wider availability’ confirms Qantas. Points required to book Classic Plus reward seats will vary depending on peak periods or time of booking.
“This new type of reward seat will usually require more points than the highly sought after existing Classic seats, and will be available to all destinations on the Qantas international and domestic network, across first, business, premium economy and economy cabins,” said Qantas loyalty CEO Andrew Glance. Seats can be booked now for international flights departing from Australia, with other seats to be rolled out across the rest of the airlines’ network by the end of the year
The Classic Plus product represents approximately $120 million of investment in the full year 2025, excluding benefits from the programme, confirms the carrier. Following the launch of the new product, Qantas Loyalty is now expected to deliver between $500 – $525 million Underlying EBIT in FY24 before returning to growth of ~10 per cent in Underlying EBIT in FY25.
