Travel Pointers Podcast Discussion

[AFF Editor]

I know that a lot of you have been missing the 'AFF on Air' podcast. I'm pleased to announced that we've just launched a new podcast, Travel Pointers, in partnership with Point Hacks. [Note: Since the start of 2025, this is now an AFF podcast ]

Introducing the Travel Pointers Podcast!

Hosted by travel experts including Matt Graham and Chris Chamberlin, Travel Pointers podcast is Australia's brand new podcast for frequent flyers.

www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au

The first episode is now live. You can listen on your preferred podcast platform, or click here:

Travel Pointers Episode 1 - Around the World with Qantas Points & Central Asia Calling

In episode 1 of the Travel Pointers podcast, Matt Graham and Chris Chamberlin discuss flying around the world with Qantas Points, and why Central Asia is well worth a visit.

The first episode only went out today, so it could take a bit of time to appear in every podcast platform feed.

I hope you love the new podcast! If you have any questions, feedback, suggestions or anything else you'd like to say about Travel Pointers, you can leave a comment in this thread.

I look forward to listening on my commute home today!

Just listened to the first episode; good stuff, thanks guys.

 

[Townsend]

Yeah! Great News! Thanks Matt.

Great news! Fantastic to have you back "on air," Matt. The Points of View podcast was enjoyable as well, so having these two combined into one will be good, I am looking forward to listening!

 

[BriarFlyer]

Travel Pointers. I see what you did there!

Really enjoyed the new podcast! Had to laugh at the references to AFF and Points Hacks being “complimentary”… with no mention of shared ownership

A very noticeable omission. Full disclosure that AFF is (now) owned by Points Hack needed.

 

[Milefest]

Enjoyed the co-host format, great to have the depth of discussion you don't always get with solo hosts. Looking forward to future episodes!

Glad you enjoyed it!

That AFF is now owned by Point Hacks isn't a secret, and we didn't deliberately avoid talking about this on the first podcast episode. I just assumed it's fairly common knowledge by now - we had an entire episode of AFF on Air about it (episode #100, no less), and there were plenty of announcements around the time of the sale almost two years ago. It also states this in the second sentence of AFF's "about us" page.

Ha, I was wondering whether somebody would pick up on that. Thank you for the official welcome!

Point Hacks ...Newbie ... very droll

Hmm, to change that would feel less like 'priority boarding' and more like 'cutting the line'...

Thanks for flagging, we're looking into it. The submission process has changed since Google Podcasts was retired (Points of View and AFF on Air were indeed previously available on Google Podcasts). -C
