Region Express is looking to shake up the frequent flyer program dominated by Qantas and Virgin, with the launch this week (2nd October) of its own program for passengers to earn ‘Rex Points’, which can be used for free flights and flight upgrades
A significant unique selling point for the Rex Flyer program is that all unsold seats on every flight, are made available at the lowest points rate from 48 hours before departure.
Travellers will earn between three and seven Rex Points for every dollar spent on their airfare and extra spend, such as seat selection.
Free business class upgrades, extra legroom economy seating, plus moving to an earlier flight without a fee, along with the usual benefits, such as lounge access, priority check-in and boarding and boosted baggage allowances.
“The program with its superior benefits means we can at last reward our passengers for the loyalty they have shown us over many years,” says Rex Deputy Chairman John Sharp.
