‘Downside’ to Qantas’ new frequent flyer program

Airlineratings.com Editor-In-Chief Geoffrey Thomas reveals the “downside” to Qantas’ new ‘Classic Plus’ program for frequent flyers. Mr Thomas noted the new rewards program adds an additional 20 million seats. “With the Classic system, broadly speaking, one of your frequent flyer points is worth about three cents in value,” he told Sky News Australia. “The new Classic Plus system – your points are either worth between one cent and 1.5 cents. “So, in other words, you’re going to pay a lot more points for that flexibility and those additional seats.”
