Qantas – more awards seats?

The Australian Financial Review reported yesterday:

“We will be significantly boosting the availability of seats for frequent flyers to book, particularly on international flights: that’s the No. 1 thing our members want,” a Qantas source told The Australian Financial Review on Wednesday. “They save their points and look forward to taking their dream holiday to Europe or the United States or wherever – only to find it can be hard to get a seat on points.

“So there will be a big increase in availability of seats on those popular routes.”AFR.com.au
