Redeeming points to North America is always a little tricky if you want to fly in a premium cabin or during school holidays – but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible!
In Episode 84 of AFF on Air, Matt explains your options to redeem Qantas and Velocity points to fly from Australia to the USA or Canada, including with partner airlines.
This episode also includes an interview with Leon Loganathan, a Darwin-based frequent flyer who recently flew to Mexico via the USA in Qantas Business & First Class using points. In this interview, Matt and Leon discussed how he booked the trip using points, the in-flight experience on Qantas, Virgin Australia’s current bonus status credits promo, the trade-off between collecting points and chasing status, and more.
