Looking to use up your Qantas points and know the routes with the best classic reward flight availability in January? You’ve come to the right spot! We’ve checked the Qantas website to find the top reward options for January.
There’s a trend this month! You can leave Australia fairly easily… but getting home is very difficult.
Given many people are still on holidays, airlines know for certain that people are going to travel particularly in early Jan so there is little reason to offer reward seats when people are forced to pay with cash. Saying that, let’s explore what’s available!
Please note that while we’ve focused on Sydney, the search also includes flights from nearby cities like Melbourne and Brisbane, with similar availability.
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Queenstown:
One of the routes with the best availability for the month of January. Getting home has great availability too.
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Tokyo:
Business class availability to Japan early in the month. If you don’t mind going early then flights coming home are available too! Could be an option but not amazing availability.
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Los Angeles:
If you don’t mind spending 15hrs in Economy… a US trip may actually be your best bet. Plenty of seats to/from USA in economy over most dates in Jan. No premium cabins with availability though!
Flight Availability – Sydney to Hong Kong:
Plenty of seats to Hong Kong but getting home is very limited!
Flight Availability – Sydney to Dubai:
Amazing availability to Dubai! 2x Problems though…. Flight taxes are high with Emirates in premium cabins & there is no flights home…
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Fiji:
Scattered availability! Not amazing but definitely a possible route!
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Taipei:
Scattered availability getting home but flights to Taipei are plentiful!
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Manila:
Getting to Manila is easy this month…. getting home from Manila is not easy this month… very limited!
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Singapore:
Getting to Singapore is easy this month…. getting home from Singapore is not easy this month… very limited!
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Santiago:
Not a great route to choose for Jan. Better options!
Flight Availability – Sydney to Bali:
Reward seat availability to Bali is good for the month. Availability getting home is very limited.
Flight Availability – Sydney to Bangkok:
Flights to Thailand have become available! Flights coming home from Thailand have not become available…
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Vancouver:
Economy is an option but that 14hr flight is not ideal in economy…
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Honolulu:
A decent option! Possible Business class flights (likely on Jetstar) but getting home will be in economy!
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Seoul:
Plenty of seats to Korea! Just not many seats coming home…
Classic Reward Flight Availability – Sydney to Shanghai:
Getting to China is easy! Getting home continues to be a struggle.
Destinations that didn’t make the list:
Johannesburg, South Africa – Poor availability…
Rome (Via Perth) – Not good…
That wraps up the list for Classic Reward Flight Availability in December!
