Redeeming frequent flyer points for an international flight in Business Class can be hard enough if you just want one or two seats. But what if you want to take your whole family on holiday?
Peter Fryar is one of the award travel consultants at Frequent Flyer Solutions, AFF’s sister website. As well as an excellent knowledge of frequent flyer programs generally and experience helping Award Flight Assist clients, Peter has plenty of experience with booking award travel for his family of four. He joins Matt on this episode of AFF on Air to share his tips for families and larger groups looking for award availability on the same flights.
Also in this episode, there are two new status match opportunities with a SkyTeam and a Oneworld airline.
