Business Class points upgrades coming to Jetstar

by James Wilkinson

Qantas Frequent Flyers will soon be able to upgrade using points on Jetstar flights in a huge boost for travellers.

From 2026, members will be able to use their Qantas Points to upgrade to Business on Jetstar flights and that coincides with a major revamp of the airline’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet which will more than double business capacity to 44 seats.

The cabin upgrade works will be completed during scheduled aircraft maintenance, with the first aircraft due to be refitted in February 2026.

In addition, from August 2025, Classic Reward seats on nearly half of Jetstar’s flights will start from 5,700 points plus taxes, fees and carrier charges.

This points fare will be available on all Jetstar short haul routes like Sydney to the Gold Coast and Melbourne to Adelaide.
