Qantas Releases An Extra 100,000 Classic Reward Seats

An extra 100,000 Classic Reward seats have just dropped, thanks to an early Christmas present from Qantas. The seats are available to a wide range of destinations including Paris, Santiago and Bali. This includes more than 1,000 Business seats.

If you are looking to score a seat for your next trip, we would suggest getting in touch with one of our Rewards Travel Specialists to lock in your flights.

From Qantas

Qantas Loyalty CEO Andrew Glance said the sale aims to help give Aussies a head start planning their 2026 holidays. 

“January is often one of the busiest months for bookings with Qantas Points, so by releasing this wave of extra Classic Reward seats now, we’re encouraging members to get in early and secure their travel before the New Year’s rush,” he said.

“This release is a great mix of the tried-and-true favourites, uncrowded beaches, and exciting cultural destinations.”

If you are ready to jump on this sale and lock in your flights for 2026, make sure to get in touch with a Rewards Travel Specialist.
