With 160,000 Qantas Points to spend, you could book up to 20 one-way flights (10 return trips) between Sydney and Melbourne. If your business qualifies for the higher total offer of 180,000 Qantas Points, that becomes 22 one-way flights or 11 return trips between the same cities.

In 2026, 180,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer points is a "powerhouse" balance that can unlock significant luxury travel or extensive domestic trips. For international travel, this balance is nearly enough for a Return Business Class ticket from Australia to Asia (e.g., Sydney to Tokyo or Singapore) on Qantas or partner airlines like Emirates or Japan Airlines, which typically costs around 130,000 to 150,000 points. If you are looking for an "around-the-world" style adventure, it could cover a Return Economy flight to Europe or the U.S., or multiple "Classic Upgrade Rewards" from Economy to Business on long-haul routes. Domestically, 180,000 points could book approximately 10 to 15 return trips between major Australian cities like Sydney and Melbourne in Economy. For those who prefer "Premium" experiences, it can also be used for luxury hotel stays via Qantas Hotels or for high-end merchandise in the Qantas Marketplace. To maximize value, travelers are advised to use points for "Classic Flight Rewards" or "Classic Upgrades" rather than shopping, as the "points-per-dollar" value is significantly higher for aviation seats.
