Coming Tweaks to the Qantas Frequent Flyer Program

by Gary Leff

Musings of the Global Traveller has the scoop on changes to the Qantas Frequent Flyer program.

Silver gets easier to achieve and they’ll also get access to the same increased award availability flying Qantas metal that’s offered to Golds and Platinums.

Award assistance and change fees go up, Platinums lose anytime lounge access and Silvers and Qantas Club members lose priority check-in on domestic itineraries.

All in all Kiwi calls the changes mixed, with non-status members losing out and Silvers gaining slightly, nothing great added for Golds and some gains and losses for Platinums.
