Qantas Frequent Flyer

*You must be a Qantas Frequent Flyer (QFF) member to earn and use Qantas Points.  A joining fee usually applies, however Journey Beyond guests can join for free here. Membership and Qantas Points are subject to the Qantas Frequent Flyer Terms and Conditions.

Earning Qantas Points

• For bookings made from 9 December 2020, QFF members can earn 1 Qantas Point per AU$1 spent on Eligible Bookings. Eligible Bookings are Journey Beyond Rail Expeditions and Journey Beyond Rail Expedition Holiday Packages and exclude airfares packaged with a Journey Beyond Rail Expedition Holiday Package; bookings made with a promotional or discount code including staff, companion or Friends and Family discounts, travel industry discounts, trade and press familiarisations or prize winners; bookings of Groups and Charters (a Group is 10 guests or more travelling together on one booking. A Charter is when a dedicated train departure is booked by one group or organisation); and bookings made via a distribution partner who is already a participant in the Qantas Frequent Flyer program, including but not limited to Abercrombie & Kent, APT Luxury Travel, Exclusive Travel Group, Intrepid Travel, Luxury Escapes and Peregrine. To earn Qantas Points, a QFF member must make an Eligible Booking via journeybeyondrail.com.au and add their QFF details to the booking prior to the departure date. If you add additional QFF members to the booking and include their QFF numbers, the total points amount will be split equally. For example, if the entire booking will earn 10,000 Qantas Points and you add two QFF members details, each member will earn 5,000 Qantas Points. Points will be credited to the relevant Frequent Flyer account within 8 weeks of the completion of the journey. Qantas Points will be awarded to you based on the final amount of the travelled booking, where a refund is applied after your return, the Qantas Points will be determined by the final amount paid less the refund. Qantas Points will not be earned on cancelled bookings.

Journey Beyond Terms & Conditions apply. Journey Beyond reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time.
