Cabin Bonus
A Cabin bonus is awarded when you travel on eligible flights and fares in a premium cabin on any of our airline partners.
The bonus is applied to the base rate for each individual flight you take. When flying on Qantas (with a QF flight number on your ticket), you can earn a:
- 25% bonus for Premium Economy,
- 50% bonus for Business, and
- 100% bonus for First.
