Upgrade vs Reward Booking |
Nobody wants to fly to Europe in Economy, but few can afford a full-price Business class ticket. That’s where frequent flyer points can come in very handy!
Qantas points can be used to upgrade an Economy seat to Premium Economy or Business class. You can also use Qantas points to book an outright Classic Flight Reward seat in Business class. Unfortunately, both options are much easier said than done. Upgrades are not guaranteed and reward seats can be hard to find. But one method is clearly much better. |
