Low award prices for jetstar flights
Jetstar is a low -cost subsidiary of Qantas, comparable to Easejet about Passenger experience, pricing, rules and restrictions. Jetstar is not a one-class alliance member, so partner points or mills cannot be used to book jetstar flights (neither you can use non-Kentas OneWerald Status).
You can give Ali Qantas points to Jetstar flights. However, the classic flight rewards seats on Jetstar for popular Australian routes such as Melbourne Airport (MEL) have just 5,700 Qantas points from SID.

Change in earning points
In addition to the above pricing changes, Qantas will invest up to 25%in the number of marks earned on domestic cash toilets. The airline will also be awarded additional points on selected international tickets.
Earning Qantas points via credit card
While there are no Qantas-branded credit cards available in the US, you can transfer reward from three programs, which are constantly in the flyer with Qantas directly with transfer currency:
Each has a 1: 1 transfer ratio, so 10,000 credit card points or miles are equal to 10,000 Qantas points.
Additionally, you can transfer Marriott Bonwoy Points to Qantas continuously flying in a ratio of 3: 1, which means 3 Marriott Bonvoy Points Maker 1 Qantas Point. When you transfer 60,000 bonwoy points to the airline, Marriott will also add 5,000 bonus points.
Ground level
There is an unfortunate reality of devaluation points and mills. We currently recommend earning transferable points and miles because if there is a transfer partner development, you can always book with another.
These changes announced the Qantas representative high prices and both flights with and out of ONORLD Alliance by Qantas and its partner Airlines.
However, some are upside. For the first time, members can book Hawaiian Airlines and Premium Economy Award tickets on several partner airlines. But for prices investing in prices, you should consider booking immediately before AGG. 5 price changes.
