Qantas Frequent Flyer 

Qantas Frequent Flyer information is sometimes difficult to source.  This program is one of the largest and we will help demystify it!

The Qantas Frequent Flyer (QFF) program is the reward program for Qantas.  Qantas is the largest network in Australia and also has the largest Frequent Flyer Program, with more partners you can earn points anywhere in the world and also take advantage of lounge facilities almost anywhere.  Having so many partners makes it more difficult in selecting who to use when travelling and we will continue to provide tips into how to navigate the program.

There are many ways to take advantage of the Qantas program and we will continue to add information to this site.  We will cover things such as earn and burn strategies, news that may impact the points value and partners special offers.

Should there ever be any missing information please don’t hesitate to contact us here at Clever Voyage or email us at info@clevervoyage.com
