Classic Reward seats are one of those little gems in the Qantas Frequent Flyer program. They let you book flights using a fixed, and usually pretty modest, amount of Qantas Points.
The catch? Classic Rewards seats are limited on each flight or route (unless it’s a special Points Plane). So when one does show up in your search, it feels like stumbling across the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
With that in mind, Qantas has launched a new Classic Flight Reward Finder that makes spotting Classic Reward seats much simpler. Built for international flights, it lets you filter by region, city, date, and cabin class.
Search by region if you’re flexible, it shows all major destinations in that area. From there, pick your flight, check how many reward seats are available, and see the points cost upfront. It’s quick, clear, and saves you from endless trial-and-error searches.
Classic Reward Finder
The tool makes finding reward seats simple and fast, with features like:
- Browse seats by region
- Search by a date range
- Filter by cabin type
For example, you could search for flights between Australia and Europe, in Business Class for September this year.
As can be seen, the tool shows reward seats with partner airlines. Not so easy to see from a single screen shot is the range of partners included. The search results will include Oneworld carriers such as American Airlines, British Airways, and Cathay Pacific. It also includes other partners such as China Airlines and Emirates.
It’s a handy way to see the full network of options in one place, giving you more chances to turn points into trips.
