Capital One has introduced a 20% transfer bonus to Qantas. If you’re unfamiliar with Qantas it’s a One World partner airline that is the flag carrier of Australia. It has a great award calendar if you’re looking to book First Class or business class to Australia and don’t want look one day at a time. We have added this to our current list of transfer bonuses. Let’s take a look!
Details:
- 1000 Capital One Miles = 1200 Qantas Points
- Transfer by 8/31/24
How much does it cost to book Business and First Class using Qantas Miles?

Find space: Search on Qantas with these 3 things selected
Ok, now you understand how you can book them. It’s time to locate award space that is available to you.
- Select Use Points
- Click Flexible Dates
- Click Multi-CIty
Populate the calendar function through multi-city + flexible dates
That will then populate this next page with blocks to fill out with multiple destinations. Here’s the secret…you don’t need to fill out multi-spots. You can just fill one, just make sure you click “flexible dates”.
Use the legend to see dates that have availability
I have no idea why they made business class and first class so similar in color – one could have been blue or green or something that is easier to distinguish.
One thing that is very annoying with this calendar function is the inability to select direct flights only, and non mixed cabin. As you can see below, on 10/30/23 there is a direct flight with Qantas. WAHOOOOO – but you’ll quickly realize that this was a lucky find as the calendar will also show business class available on the Mel-Syd-Lax route that only has one leg available in business. This unfortunately results in a lot of falseflags.
You found the space on Qantas! Now time to confirm on a British Airways
