More than 100 routes are offered, including Launceston to Melbourne ($105), Ballina to Sydney ($1190), Sydney to Gold Coast ($129), Proserpine to Brisbane ($129), Hobart to Melbourne ($135), Brisbane to Hervey Bay ($139), Maroochydore to Sydney ($149) and Adelaide to Whyalla ($149).

On Monday, Qantas announced major changes to its frequent flyer program.

The number of frequent flyer seats available each year quadrupled to 20 million.

It was a turbulent year for the former state airline.

In September, chief executive Alan Joyce resigned and the Supreme Court ruled that the company had illegally outsourced 1,700 jobs during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In March, Qantas was fined $250,000 for breaching workplace health and safety laws. Qantas subsidiary Qantas Ground Services illegally fired Theo Seremetidis for instructing other employees to stop cleaning and maintaining aircraft arriving from China in February 2020.
