With overseas travel practically off-limits to Australians for the foreseeable future, Qantas has teamed up with Journey Beyond Rail Expeditions to give its frequent flyers the chance to use their points on the latter’s all-inclusive premium rail holidays. Options include The Ghan, which crosses the Outback as it traverses the nearly 3,000 kilometers between Adelaide and Darwin, the Indian Pacific (running from Perth to Sydney), and the Great Southern for journeys between Adelaide and Brisbane. The Australian flag carrier says it’s the first time its Classic Reward seats have been offered on the ground, and spots on the overnight trains are already being sold as Classic Rail Reward seats.
