Frequent flyers will be able to take advantage of thousands more reward seats as Qantas and Jetstar celebrate the reopening of Japan for international travellers following years of COVID restrictions.
Both airlines will make every Economy seat between Australia and Japan available as a Classic Flight Reward over a six-week period from 11 May to 20 June 2023. All Economy seats on Jetstar flights between Australia and Japan between 11 October to 30 November 2022 will also be available as Classic Flight Rewards.
Up to 100,000 reward seats will be available across six routes:
- Qantas flights between:
- Sydney and Tokyo (Haneda)
- Brisbane and Tokyo (Haneda)
- Melbourne and Tokyo (Haneda)
- Jetstar flights between:
- Cairns and Tokyo (Narita)
- Cairns and Osaka (Kansai)
- Gold Coast and Tokyo (Narita)
To mark the beginning of the six weeks of reward seats, Qantas will operate two Points Planes between Sydney and Tokyo (Haneda) on 10 May 2023, meaning every seat in every cabin, including Business, can be booked as a Classic Flight Reward.
Qantas will also offer Points Planes between Sydney and Hong Kong on 30 January 2023 when the airline restarts its Hong Kong flights.
The additional Classic Flight Reward seats and Points Planes will be available for booking from 10am today until 13 October 2022. Seats on these flights can also be purchased with cash.
