Australia’s flag-carrier kicked off the week by reviving one of its most popular loyalty incentives: Double Status Credits or Double Qantas Points on all bookings made between 5 and 11 May 2026 for travel through 31 August. The promotion allows frequent flyers to fast-track elite Silver, Gold, Platinum and Platinum One tiers—perks prized by corporate road warriors for lounge access, priority check-in and extra baggage. Simultaneously, Qantas discounted more than 25,000 economy, premium-economy and business-class seats across six long-haul destinations, including Johannesburg, Santiago, and Pacific Island favourites such as Vanuatu and Samoa. All fares include checked luggage and inflight meals, reinforcing the carrier’s full-service positioning against low-cost rivals.

Before locking in these international itineraries, savvy travellers might also want to confirm entry requirements. VisaHQ’s online platform (https://www.visahq.com/australia/) streamlines the visa-application process for South Africa, Chile, Vanuatu, Samoa and hundreds of other destinations, letting corporate bookers upload documents, track status and receive proactive alerts in one dashboard—ensuring the extra points you earn aren’t derailed by last-minute paperwork.
The move comes as Australian corporates restart regional travel programs postponed during last month’s Middle-East fuel-price surge. By bundling a status-boost with fare discounts, Qantas hopes to lock in advance cash-flow and shore up market share before Northern Hemisphere carriers add capacity on trans-Pacific routes. Travel-management companies (TMCs) advise clients to register offers in the Qantas Business Rewards portal to ensure points pool to the corporate account. Mobility managers should also review fare-class exclusions—codeshare flights on partner airlines do not qualify for double rewards unless ticketed under a QF code. With limited award inventory over school-holiday periods, travellers seeking upgrades should book early and monitor point-redemption wait-lists via the Qantas app.
