Classic Plus Fares

Classic Plus fares were introduced by Qantas in 2024. The points cost for these fares is not based on distance (as it is with Classic Reward fares), but on the cash price for the same fare.

These fares have a fixed rate of 1 cent per point - ie. a $1,000 flight will cost 100,000 points. They are generally considered a poor use of points.

50,000 points will net you $500 worth of value.

Points Plus Pay

Points Plus Pay has been around for longer than Classic Plus, but is based on a similar concept. You can use your points to lower the cash price of any flight, but at a poor redemption rate of about 0.6 cents per point.

Expect to get $300 of value for a balance of 50,000 points.
