Qantas raised classic reward prices, so what still delivers with 100,000 Qantas Points?
Brandon Loo joins Tobias Venus to re-rank 9 great redemptions post-devaluation.

We cover:

✅ What changed in the Qantas award devaluation (up to ~20%) and how it reshapes the value of 100,000 points
✅ Emirates First SYD–CHC: why it still punches above its weight 
✅ Asia in Business with Cathay or China Airlines
✅ JAL Business: what’s great, what’s quirky
✅ Qantas A330 Business to Asia
✅ Qantas First SYD–SIN vs saving ~40k by booking Business instead
✅ When cash fares beat points for long-haul economy
✅ Short regional hops (~9,200 pts) that shine when cash spikes
