In addition, frequent flyers will need 30 per cent fewer points to book economy Classic Flight Reward seats on those routes, for travel from 1 June to 30 November 2022. This includes the month of Points Planes in August.

Frequent Flyers can book the seats using points until 15 May 2022.

Seats on those flights can also be purchased with cash.

“We’ve seen a huge increase in demand for regional travel since the start of the pandemic and these Points Planes will help tens of thousands of frequent flyers discover regional Australia this winter,” said Qantas Loyalty CEO, Olivia Wirth. “These Points Planes will help boost tourism right across the country during August and make it easier for residents in these regional towns to get away for a city escape. Qantas’ regional network plays an important role in supporting local economies and this investment in domestic Points Planes will continue to drive visitation and support travel demand.”

Those also wanting to book accommodation, can now use 30 to 45 per cent less points for all Qantas Hotels and Qantas Holidays bookings.
