Qantas Frequent Flyer award chart
One-way points by band and cabin, as we've compiled it from the official source. Figures exclude taxes, fees and carrier charges. This chart prices flights operated by Qantas Frequent Flyer itself; partner-operated flights are priced separately.
Two reward types sit side by side and behave very differently. Classic Flight Rewards use the fixed distance-zone chart and are the genuine value play, but seats are capped and release can be tight. Classic Plus Flight Rewards are dynamically priced — the points cost floats with the cash fare, so treat any Classic Plus number as a live quote, never a fixed rate. Always check Classic availability first.

Frequently asked
- How is the Qantas Frequent Flyer award chart structured?
- The Qantas Frequent Flyer chart is distance-based: the points price depends on how far you fly, grouped into mileage bands. Longer flights cost more, and the band — not the specific city pair — sets the price.
- What's the cheapest Qantas Frequent Flyer award?
- On the fixed bands we track, economy starts from 9,200 points one-way, and business from 19,300 points one-way, before taxes, fees and carrier charges.
- Are these points one-way or return?
- All figures are one-way. Qantas Frequent Flyer (like most programs) prices reward seats one-way, so you can book each direction separately.
- Do the points include taxes and fees?
- No. The points figure excludes taxes, fees and carrier charges, which are paid in cash on top of the points and vary by route and airline.
