Los Angeles–Brisbane Flights
This route runs from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Brisbane (BNE). The nonstop award space in the data is split between Qantas Airways and Delta.

Best Ways to Book With Points & Miles
Booking Los Angeles–Brisbane with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The economy floor is a partner booking on a Qantas Airways nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $110, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. The middle step, premium economy, costs about 1.9 times economy; business costs about 2.6 times. Air France-KLM Flying Blue is a bank-points transfer partner, but transfers are one-way, so confirm the seat before moving anything.
Best Points & Miles Programs
Air France-KLM Flying Blue wins economy at 34,650 points on a Qantas Airways nonstop. American AAdvantage takes premium economy at 65,000 points. Air Canada Aeroplan is cheapest in business class at 90,300 points. Watch the premium-economy routing: it lands at Kingsford Smith (SYD) and leaves from WSI. First class starts at 95,097 points through Air Canada Aeroplan on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight.
Airlines & Routing Options
On points, Los Angeles–Brisbane has nonstop seats from Qantas Airways (oneworld) and Delta (SkyTeam), which puts partner programs from both alliances in play for a nonstop. The economy floor is a partner award: Air France-KLM Flying Blue sells the Qantas Airways nonstop.
Alternative Airports & Routes
On the Los Angeles end, Burbank (BUR) and Ontario (ONT) both price higher at 55,000 points in economy versus the 34,650-point floor, so keep them for dates when LAX is sold out. If the destination is open, Los Angeles to Amsterdam prices from 9,500 points at last check.
Booking tips
- 1Search flexible dates first, since saver award seats can appear on scattered days.
- 2Compare partner programs before transferring points, since the same seat can price very differently.
- 3Check both direct and connecting options when direct award seats are limited.
- 4Book early for peak travel periods, when saver space disappears fastest.
- 5Recheck availability often, since airlines may release more award seats closer to departure.
