I am not gonna lie, when I came across your channel back in 2019, one of the reasons I clicked on your videos was how similar your color pattern was with that of Qatar airways'. cuz I grew up in Qatar and always wanted to fly the first or business class, I clicked on it, and boy... was that one of the best decisions of my life :) glad to see you still have the same color palette/theme for ur channel and blog and also the maroon shirt u r wearing in this video ;)

Wow! Im planning to fly to the Maldives on points and this video is super helpful! Its almost like you could read my mind! You answered all the questions i had. Thank youuu.
Watch out for married segment logic on QR and other airlines that use Amadeus as their internal reservations system (and therefore their revenue management suite of products behind the scenes). A lot of airlines now show different availability depending on the Origin and Destination (O&D) pairs. If A-B and B-C is available, it does not necessarily mean A-B-C is bookable (or vice versa).
I predict AS will switch to a single award chart either zone based or distance based for Oneworld partner redemptions. The ability to mix and match partners on a single itinerary would be available.
Only the various iterations of Avios can be combined (British Airways, Qatar, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Finnair). Your Alaska miles cannot be combined with Avios.
Hey man I like your informative videos. I was just wondering about something though since you travelled recently, are you able to transit through the USA to Canada if you're coming from a banned USA covid country like China? I'm about to travel and do this coming from Brazil which is also banned but I don't want to get stopped in the US airport along the way.
I came back from Hong Kong (which isn't banned) so yes I was able to transit the USA. If you're coming from Brazil, you won't be able to enter/transit the US.
