Qantas 30% off Classic Flight Rewards sale: Full list and top deals
Cut-price reward seats to New Zealand, Fiji and San Francisco.
So Qantas Frequent Flyer has a nifty "sale" on right now, with 30% off the usual number of Qantas Points needed for Classic Rewards flights.
The sale includes Economy and Business reward redemptions, as well as one Premium Economy option (for Sydney-Auckland and Brisbane-San Francisco flights).
The deals are available from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide. All four cities have offers for Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane also offer Fiji, while Brisbane's new San Francisco route has seats (but only in Economy and Premium Economy).
As well as Qantas seats, the offer includes partner Fiji Airways and seats on Jetstar in economy. Carrier charges are all lower with Fiji Airways and mostly lower with Jetstar. (When they're higher, it's because the booking involves more than one flight. That makes the carrier charge higher, but doesn't affect the number of points needed.)
Given that the carrier charges are the same for Business and Economy in most cases, Business seats are going to be more appealing if you can find them. That said, for a flight from the east coast to New Zealand, you're not looking at a massively lengthy flight anyway.
The table below shows all the destinations on offer, how many Qantas Points you'll need and what you'll pay in carrier charges. Use the search box to filter the list.
