Atmos Rewards dropped its September Global Getaways with one-way economy awards starting at 20,000 points to London, La Paz, and Tokyo (from Honolulu). Tokyo from the US West Coast runs 27,500 points and has been scarce; London and Taipei have priced widely. The booking window closes September 5, 2026, and travel windows are mostly January 15 to March 8, 2027, except Tokyo which runs now through November 18, 2026. Canadian searches have returned the promotional pricing in past rounds, so Vancouver and Toronto departures are worth checking against US gateways like Seattle or New York.

Finnair's new Melbourne route from October 2026 opens a $1,386 round-trip economy fare to London. It books into Z class, earning 10,500 Qantas Points and 120 status credits. But this is a restrictive light fare with no checked baggage and no changes. The value is in the points earn for frequent flyers, not the cabin experience.
