The Qantas Group has today launched a massive sale across its network as it also thanks frequent flyers with their choice of points or status credits for their ongoing support.

More than one million seats are now on sale for travel across Qantas Domestic, Qantas International, Jetstar and QantasLink regional flights.

Qantas fares will be up to 40 per cent off, including return flights from Sydney to London for $1799 and Melbourne to Los Angeles for $1199. Jetstar fares are up to half price, with domestic Jetstar flights starting from as low as $29 one-way and Jetstar international flights from $145 one-way.

The mega sale includes flights to more than 90 destinations across the country and around the world, offering travellers the opportunity to lock in great value fares and pre-plan family and friends visits, business trips or holiday getaways.

Everyday fares peaked late last calendar year and have since fallen by around 12 per cent as more capacity is added by the more than 50 airlines servicing Australia.

The Qantas Group’s domestic capacity is now above pre-COVID levels while international capacity has recovered to 80 per cent and is expected to reach pre-COVID levels by the middle of next year.

Adjusted for inflation, domestic fares are now around 4 per cent higher than pre-COVID and international fares are around 10 per cent higher.

BONUS QANTAS POINTS AND STATUS CREDITS

Qantas is gifting more than a billion Qantas Points shared between Frequent Flyers who have flown at least one Qantas flight in the past 12 months in recognition of their loyalty. Members can also opt to receive Status Credits instead, which help retain or increase their Frequent Flyer status (Silver, Gold, Platinum etc.).

Eligible customers will receive an email inviting them to choose between 1,000 Frequent Flyer Points or 30 Status Credits. Those who flew 10 or more times will be gifted 5,000 Qantas Points or 75 Status Credits.

It takes six one-way Economy flights between Sydney and Melbourne to earn 5,000 Qantas Points and 75 Status Credits is a quarter of the way to move from Bronze tier up to Silver. (It requires 300 Status Credits to move from Bronze to Silver).
