If you have your eye on an Economy Class Reward on Qantas you may be in luck. Qantas has launched a new sale, offering a 30% discount on Economy Classic Flight Reward fares. The discount is available for bookings made by 16 June for travel between 23 July and 31 March 2020.
It’s a good deal if you are looking at travelling as a group, or you need to fly during peak period. For example, I know of people that have similar deals to take a family to the Gold Coast during school holidays.
The 30% discounts apply to economy flights booked on either Qantas (QF) or Jetstar (JQ/3K) domestic or international networks.
As usual, the discount options are limited to Economy class bookings. There are no discounted rates available for Business or First Class.

Qantas run these promotions from time to time, and there may be some good value around.
Normally, best value for redeeming points is usually found in premium classes such as Business and First Class, Unfortunately, these cabins are not available in this sale.
There are however cases when it can make sense to book in Economy, and this is especially so when there is a sale such as this.
