How many points for your route?
The “burn” side of points is where the value is. The same long-haul business-class seat that sells for thousands of dollars in cash can cost a fixed number of points on a published award chart — if you know which program to book through and can find the seat. These pages do the first half: they show you the points price by cabin and program for each route, so you know what a redemption should cost before you go hunting for availability.
Start with a route below. Each page separates fixed-chart prices (an exact number) from dynamic, demand-based pricing (estimate-only), names the cheapest program in each cabin, and links the program guide and award chart so you can go deeper.

Award flights, explained
- What is an award flight?
- An award flight is a seat you book with frequent-flyer points or miles instead of cash. You still pay taxes, fees and any carrier charges in cash, but the fare itself is covered by points — which is how a business-class seat worth thousands of dollars can cost a fixed number of points.
- How many points do I need to fly from Australia?
- It depends on the distance, the cabin and the program. On a fixed chart like Qantas Classic, a short domestic hop costs far fewer points than a long-haul business-class seat. Pick a route above to see the points cost by cabin across the programs we track.
- Why do the points costs differ between programs?
- Each program prices the same flight differently. Some use a fixed published chart (the same points price regardless of the cash fare), others price dynamically (the points move with demand). We show fixed prices as exact numbers and flag dynamic pricing as estimate-only.
- Are the points one-way or return?
- All points figures on this site are one-way, so you can mix and match — for example, points one way and a cheap cash fare back. Multiply by two for a rough return cost.
