Qantas has significantly lowered the number of points businesses need to accumulate on its loyalty program in order to receive cheaper fares. The changes mean users of its Business Rewards program will now only have to amass 15,000 points to get 6% off base prices, rather than 20,000. It comes as airlines are beginning to see a bounce-back in demand following the omicron wave, and after PM Scott Morrison ruled out more restrictions. Qantas’ domestic and international CE, Andrew David, said, “Small and medium-size businesses are back flying at greater than 80 per cent of pre-Covid levels, which shows they are keen to reconnect with their teams, customers and clients and make up for lost time.” The airline also announced further changes that will see individuals who book through its business loyalty scheme earn points for their company alongside 250 points for themselves. Points can now also be reinvested back into the company to redeem on more flights, or transferred to individual team members as a reward.<br/>
