Qantas completely overhauls it’s frequent flyer program – with one million extra rewards seat - so what does it mean for YOU? Airline Qantas is going to announce major changes to its frequent flyer program Chief executive Alan Joyce is unveiling the biggest program overhaul in 32 years Qantas last month announced a first-ever flight paid for by frequent flyer points By Stephen Johnson For Daily Mail Australia Published: 02:11 BST, 20 June 2019 | Updated: 02:11 BST, 20 June 2019 Viewcomments Qantas has announced the biggest overhaul of its frequent flyer program in 32 years. Chief executive Alan Joyce and head of the airline's loyalty division Olivia Wirth unveiled a series of changes on Thursday that will see Qantas's 13million frequent flyers members pay 'significantly less' for international flights, access more seats and earn more points even while they sleep. Australia's national carrier already allows its loyal customers to earn points by paying off their mobile or energy bills or contribute to their superannuation. Qantas is set to announce what Australia's largest airline says will be the biggest overhaul in the 32-year history of its frequent flyer program Mr Joyce said 70 per cent of frequent flyer points were already earned on the ground. Qantas Loyalty, which allows customers to earn redeemable points by booking flights, shopping at retailers including Woolworths and using linked credit cards, made a $372 million profit in the last financial year off revenue of $1.55 billion. Qantas last month announced its first-ever so-called 'points plane' from Melbourne to Tokyo, with seats on the October flight reserved solely for those paying with frequent flyer points. The Australian airline's loyalty programs have 12million members. The frequent flyer changes are being revealed a day after Qantas Group announced it had bought 36 Airbus A321 extra long-range aircraft, which will be delivered from 2024 onwards. They can fly 8,700km without refuelling, with the aircraft having fuel tanks in the belly for extra range. Qantas has 12million loyalty program members and last month allowed for an entire flight from Melbourne to Tokyo to be paid for entirely by frequent flyer points (stock image) Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
