What do 300000 Qantas points get you?

Ready to embark on a celebratory holiday after settling on a new house? ANZ are offering 300,000 bonus Qantas Points to eligible customers who apply for a new ANZ Home Loan of over $300,000 by 19 August 2022 and settle by 31 January 2023. We value that haul at roughly $5,400.00, which is quite significant! That’s enough to fly one person return (or two people one-way) in Qantas Business Class between Australia and London. A seat in Qantas International Business Class won’t set you back more than 144,600 points + taxes. It may be a bit more difficult to redeem your points for an international reward seat in a premium cabin this year. But your Qantas Points don’t expire as long as you earn or redeem points every 18 months.

So you can safely keep your balance going indefinitely until it’s time for a holiday. You may find the ANZ Home Loan through other mortgage brokers and finance professionals. This guide is intended to cover the points-earning features and capability of the loan and is not a general recommendation of this product.

Please review all the necessary information about this home loan to ensure it meets your personal circumstances. Further information regarding the offer, including terms and conditions, fees, charges and eligibility criteria can be found here,

How far can 100000 Qantas points get you?

1. Get up to 18 Business Class upgrades on short domestic flights – Your 100,000 Qantas Points could get you anywhere from two to 18 Business Class upgrades on Qantas domestic routes, depending on the fare and distance travelled. It takes just 5,400 Qantas Points to upgrade from Economy to Business on flights under 600 miles (965km) from a regular flexible (Economy Flex) ticket. Qantas Boeing 737 Business Class is the highest cabin level on most domestic routes. This could be a great way to reward yourself if they are frequently shuttling between two cities such as Sydney or Melbourne, and you can do this 18 times from a starting balance of 100K Qantas Points.

How many Qantas points do I need to fly to Paris?

How many Qantas points do I need to go to Italy?

Using Qantas Points to get to Italy with Emirates and oneworld partner airlines – Qantas Points are best used with Qantas or Emirates for flights to Europe to achieve most value – redeeming for oneworld partner airlines is more expensive. The Qantas network is now only to Dubai as most of you would already know, with Emirates operating connecting flights beyond Dubai to Europe (and of course to Dubai from Australia too). Here’s how the Qantas Points pricing comes out:

Origin Destination Class Points Needed (one way)
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane All Italian cities Business Class 128000
Adelaide Bologna, Venice, Milan Business Class 128000
Adelaide Rome Business Class 112000
Perth Bologna, Venice, Milan Business Class 112000
Perth Rome Business Class 96000
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane All Italian cities First Class 192000
Adelaide Bologna, Venice, Milan First Class 192000
Adelaide Rome First Class 168000
Perth Bologna, Venice, Milan First Class 168000
Perth Rome First Class 144000
Dubai Stopover Options
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide Dubai Business Class 96000
Perth Dubai Business Class 72000
Dubai All Italian cities Business Class 50000
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide Dubai First Class 144000
Perth Dubai First Class 108000
Dubai All Italian cities First Class 75000
Sydney, Melbourne Dubai Qantas Premium Economy 72000

So there’s some fairly common pricing across most Australian cities, although Perth, Adelaide and Rome’s slightly shorter flight distances mean that the redemption cost in Qantas Points is lower for those cities. Qantas fly a Premium Economy cabin to Dubai, but Emirates don’t, so if you’re not stopping over in Dubai you’ll be charged for the higher cabin all the way to your destination.

If you do stopover in Dubai (regardless of Premium Economy travel) then the cost in Qantas Points becomes the cost of the flight to Dubai, plus the flight to Italy. I’d suggest only trying to use a Qantas Premium Economy redemption as part of an Australia to Italy flight if that’s the only cabin with availability, as otherwise it will be more expensive in terms of points.

Qantas’ pricing is not particularly competitive compared to the competition, but it has Emirates Italian route network going for it, along with generally good points redemption availability on Emirates’ flights between Dubai and Sydney. Finally, also expect to pay upwards of $600 in taxes and fees along with the points.

500,000 Qantas points would be enough to get you almost anywhere in Business class and back, except for Europe (although once you add your partner’s points you would have about enough for that too). So, I guess it really depends where you’d like to visit? South America would be my pick, but there are lots of other possible destinations. You also have enough points for 2x premium economy round-the-world trips (costs 210,000 points each) although that might be a slight stretch with just 2 weeks of leave! You won’t earn any points or status credits for flights booked using points, unless you use Points+Pay – but that is such poor value I would personally not even consider it.

Joelsoo, my response to your question as to how to maximise your QFF points is to not fly Qantas. Look to partner airlines with significantly lower taxes, like American Airlines and Cathy Pacific. Cathay has an outstanding First product, for example. Joined Nov 19, 2014 Posts 8

  • I have always been thinking of doing this as well, the F/J to Dubai will be a rare experience.

Points + pay can sometimes be good value if SCs are important. Perhaps for some. I would say that if Points+Pay seems like good value, it’s probably better just to buy the ticket using money and save the points for something more valuable. Joined Nov 19, 2014 Posts 8

Perhaps for some. I would say that if Points+Pay seems like good value, it’s probably better just to buy the ticket using money and save the points for something more valuable. I have been using several times for domestic travels, UK domestic on BA and once to Singapore QF during the Xmas peak season. Not too sure if I would use it for international again.

How many Qantas points do I need to fly from Perth to Bali?

How many Qantas Points do I need to fly to Bali? – Here are the one-way points needed per passenger for Qantas and Jetstar flights to Bali or back. Taxes and surcharges are extra and depend on each route. As a rough guide, a one-way Business seat from Sydney to Bali would cost you 57,000 Qantas Points and AUD$197 in taxes.

Qantas Economy Qantas Business
Melbourne to Bali 20,300 points 57,000 points
Sydney to Bali 20,300 points 57,000 points

table>

Jetstar Economy Jetstar Business Melbourne to Bali 18,000 points 42,400 points Sydney to Bali 18,000 points 42,400 points Brisbane to Bali 18,000 points 42,400 points Cairns to Bali 14,400 points n/a Adelaide to Bali 14,400 points n/a Perth to Bali 14,400 points n/a Darwin to Bali 9,600 points n/a

At the time of writing, Jetstar has the best availability for flights to Bali. But keep in mind taxes are quite high, even in Economy. For Jetstar flights, you probably won’t get the best value out of your points with flight rewards. After all, an Economy flight reward from Sydney requires 18,000 points and $151 in taxes.

This includes a 20kg checked baggage allowance). Jetstar’s cheapest equivalent fare in May 2022 costs just $321, for comparison. That works out to be 0.94 cents per point. Jetstar’s Business fare is $715 on the same date, so your Business Reward for 42,200 points and $211 means you’ll get 1.19 cents per point.

A bit higher than Economy, but still short of what we currently value Qantas Points. But on the other hand, Qantas Classic Flight Rewards (including both Qantas and Jetstar flights) are free to change and cancel until 28 February 2022 – and this may be extended further. Even without the waiver, the change fee is just 5,000 points and cancellations are just 6,000 points. In a time of uncertainty, flexibility is key.

How many flights is 100000 points?

Take 11 short-haul flights on American or Alaska Airlines – ZACH GRIFF/THE POINTS GUY Want to stay stateside instead? You can use 100,000 Ultimate Rewards points to take 11 short-haul flights on American Airlines or Alaska Airlines by transferring Ultimate Rewards points to British Airways Avios. Nonstop flights under 1,151 miles one-way cost 9,000 Avios and $5.60 in taxes for economy seats when saver-level awards are available (the T fare class on American).

This includes business-heavy routes like ORD to New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) to Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ). Many of these flights can be expensive when booking at the last minute or during holidays, trade shows and other special events. You can book longer routes at competitive rates with British Airways Avios as well.

Flights up to 2,000 miles in length only cost 11,000 Avios each way. Related: 5 reasons why you should care about British Airways Avios

How far will 120000 Qantas points get me?

Fly return business class to Qantas’ South Pacific destinations – Given a one-way business class ticket with Qantas from Australia’s east coast to many points in Asia sets you back 57,000 points, your haul of 120,000 Qantas Points can get you a return business class journey on a variety of routes closer to home. Using 83,000 of those points, from Sydney, you could fly return in Qantas business class to Auckland, Queenstown, Fiji, Noumea or Port Moresby. Jakarta and Denpasar (Bali) are also possible on Qantas for an additional 31,000 Qantas Points. Departing Melbourne, you could fly return to Denpasar with Qantas – or, for a reduced 83,000 points, return to Auckland, Queenstown, Christchurch or Wellington – while out of Brisbane, Qantas’ return business class flights to Noumea are available for an easy 55,200 Qantas Points.

Finally, Perth residents could fly Qantas business class return to Singapore for a cool 114,000 Qantas Points. Just be careful that sometimes, Qantas may operate its schedule between Perth and Singapore with single-aisle domestic-style Boeing 737s instead of the twin-aisle Airbus A330s, determining whether your flight has reclining seats in business class instead of fully lie-flat beds.

Keep this in mind when booking your flights.
