How We Calculate Point Costs

The cost of earning points can vary significantly depending on multiple factors: cabin class, fare type, seasonality, and your total spend. To provide a meaningful average, we analyze costs across different 'fare buckets'.

For Qantas Frequent Flyer, our methodology assumes that cost-conscious travelers will:

  • Book during sale periods
  • Plan trips well in advance
  • Primarily fly economy for paid flights

Below you can explore our detailed fare bucket analysis and filter the data to better match your travel patterns. We're constantly refining our methodology and welcome your input.
