Hi Newsletter Subscribers,
Thank you for using the Frequent Flyer Concierge service!
Our goal is to take the hard work out of redeeming frequent flyer points. Using our expert knowledge and specialised tools, we can show you exactly what flights are available, and how to book using your points. From simple one-way bookings, right through to complex round-the-world itineraries, our team is here to help you construct the perfect itinerary.
Important notes:
- Award availability is subject to change at any time. To ensure you get the flights you want, we recommend booking as soon as possible.
- All tax amounts quoted in this document are in Australian Dollars (AUD) unless specified and are subject to change.
- There is a difference between a flight "reservation" and the flight "ticket" being issued (known as "ticketing"). Sometimes ticketing follows immediately or overnight after a booking was made, but sometimes it can take days or even weeks, if the flight is some way into the future and your booking has been flagged for manual processing. It is your responsibility to ensure your flights are ticketed. You may need to contact the airline if you have not received a ticket number within 24 hours of booking, as you may lose your flight/s if the booking is not ticketed within a few days.
- We highly recommend that you purchase appropriate travel insurance for your trip.

Your Cabin, Lounge and Airport Experience
Cabin Experience
Qantas Business Class Airbus A330
You’ll be travelling aboard a Qantas Airbus A330 in Business class. These are lie-flat seats in a 1-2-1 configuration. For a solo traveller on the Qantas A330, we would recommend seats A or K and for couples we would recommend middle seats E & F.
The seats are very comfortable, including an in-seat massage feature. For food and drink service you should be offered a welcome drink prior to take-off, followed by a meal service which typically includes a range of delicious options to choose from including a small entrée option, main course and dessert.

Qantas Business Class Boeing 737-800
You’re booked to fly on a Qantas Boeing 737-800 in Business class. This aircraft features recliner seats in a 2-2 configuration. These seats are sufficient for a short flight – we would recommend row 2 as the bulkhead in Row 1 means you cannot store anything at your seat. Despite the short duration, you can expect to enjoy a hot meal and complimentary non-alcoholic beverages regardless of the time of day you are flying.

Lounge Experience
Qantas Domestic Business Lounge Sydney
In Sydney, you will have access to the Qantas Domestic Business Lounge. This lounge is large, with a few distinct seating options, although lacking the character of some of the other Domestic Business lounges in Qantas’ network. A highlight is the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving you good views on to the apron and hangers. The buffet is solid, and you will be able to get barista-made coffee in the mornings, with alcohol served from a staffed bar from noon. The lounge is also equipped with showers and fast WiFi.
Qantas International Business Lounge Melbourne
The Qantas International Business Lounge is a spacious lounge with several separate seating zones including a separate ‘hidden’ part of the lounge that is much quieter, and brighter and has a small satellite buffet station. The lounge features a buffet spread, including a ‘plate of the day’ option during dinner hours.
There is a wide range of beverage options including barista-made coffee, self-serve wine, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks. It should be noted that this lounge is due for a refresh in 2024 with new lighting and fittings, as well as a revamp of the food and beverages available.
Premier Lounge Bali Denpasar
You will have access to the Premier Lounge in Bali's Denpasar airport. This lounge offers a range of amenities such as a diverse buffet of food and beverages, office facilities, a children's area, and shower facilities for your convenience.
