Following an investment in the Qantas Holidays program last year, Qantas Frequent Flyers can choose to earn three Qantas Points for every dollar spent on their Qantas Tour ticket or use their Qantas Points to book and receive 45% more value.

The packages will be planned and run by Australian travel agency TripADeal, based in Byron Bay, in which Qantas acquired the majority stake in May 2022. The excursions will be chosen by Qantas. Qantas Tours is starting off with 10 packages and will gradually increase its tour selection over the coming months.
