Qantas to operate ‘Points Planes’ on trans-Tasman travel bubble
Qantas and Jetstar will offer frequent flyers unlimited Classic Flight Reward seats for the first three days of the two-way trans-Tasman bubble when it opens.
Once the start date is confirmed, thousands of seats across all cabins will be available to be booked as Classic Flight Rewards for loyalty members over the 72-hour travel period. Customers can also pay for these seats as normal.
Qantas and Jetstar will be adding significantly more flights between Australia and New Zealand across a number of routes, flying to all destinations it served before Covd-19.
In addition to operating the ‘Points Planes,’ Qantas Frequent Flyer will also add 50% more Classic Reward seats on Qantas’ trans-Tasman flights for the rest of the year.
"Our members have been stockpiling points during Covid for exactly these opportunities and we want to help make it easier to get on one of the first international flights," Qantas Loyalty CEO Olivia Wirth said.
"That’s why every seat on every Qantas and Jetstar flight for the first three days of the travel bubble opening will be Classic Flight Rewards."
"For the remainder of the year, there will also be more reward seats available including during peak times like Christmas and school holidays on Qantas’ trans-Tasman flights.
Classic Flight Reward seats across the Tasman start from 18,000 Qantas Points with Qantas and 14,400 with Jetstar plus taxes, fees and carrier charges.
Customers travelling on the Points Planes, or on any Qantas operated flights booked before 30 April 2021 will get unlimited fee-free date changes when travelling before 28 February 2022.
