If you're new to status runs or only need a few more to reach that next tier, this is a great status run to get you there on points.

The fact that you can relax and enjoy some great meals at 30,000 feet is the cherry on top!

Important information

For an Australian domestic itinerary to be priced based on the combined distance flown, all Qantas Classic Reward flights must be taken on the same calendar day. You can view the Qantas Classic Flight Rewards table here for distance and pricing.

Status Credits are earned per flight sector and can be calculated using the Qantas Status Credit earn table, which outlines the accrual rates for Points Club and Points Club Plus members.

Points Club & Points Club Plus members are only eligible to earn status credits on Qantas & Qantas Link marketed and operated Classic Reward flights.
