And there are plenty of Air France business class seats available to snap up right now.
Qantas Frequent Flyers can now access reward seats, earn Qantas Points and receive tier benefits across the entire Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) network.
Under the new partnership, Qantas Frequent Flyers will be able to fly to over 60 new destinations across Europe and Africa including Biarritz, France; Dresden, Germany; Calvi, Corsica, France; and Bristol, United Kingdom.
I’m personally very excited, as Air France Business Class has been on my bucket list for some time. And, with reciprocal status benefits on offer, Qantas Frequent Flyer members with Gold status and above will be able to access the fabulous Air France business class lounge at Charles de Gaulle Airport.

And, from what we’re seeing, there are loads of Air France Classic Reward seats in economy and business class available for the taking.
Some of the more popular routes on which where we’re seeing Air France reward space include Paris – Singapore, Paris – Los Angeles and Paris – Hong Kong.
Can I book Air France first class seats using Qantas Points?
Sadly, no. We’ve searched extensively, and as expected, Air France doesn’t appear to have made any first class award space available via Qantas Frequent Flyer.
Air France is widely considered to offer one of the top first class products in the world, but it doesn’t make any first class award seats available to partner frequent flyer programs. In fact, Air France first class award space is so restrictive that it’s only available to top tier members of the Flying Blue program.
Reciprocal tier benefits
Qantas Frequent Flyers with Gold status or higher will be able to access tier benefits including priority boarding, priority check-in and extra baggage allowance on any Air France and KLM operated flights.
Earning Qantas Points on KLM and Air France flights
The agreement between Qantas Frequent Flyer, Air France and KLM Flying Blue means members will be able to earn points when they travel on eligible flights across each airline. To earn Qantas Points with Air France or KLM, members simply need to enter their Qantas Frequent Flyer number when booking their next flight.
Qantas Points are earned on all eligible booking classes, except on Air France and KLM codeshare flights operated by an airline other than Air France, KLM or Qantas.
