Another nice thing with Flying Blue is they seem to have more award seats on each flight than other programs, and you pay 25% less points for children’s award tickets.
I'm definitely looking forward to utilizing partners like AirCanada and British Airways more. In general, for international trips, I like to use my Amex points and then use my Chase points for quick domestic trips through Southwest (or American if there's award availability), but that's just what fits my travel habits right now. Great video as always man! 👊🏼
Hyatt ✅ AF/KL ✅ IB 🔲 AC 🔲 BA 🔲 Three more to master all five maximum maneuvers.▫️Would you choose 6 nights at Kyoto Regency with SUA or 3 nights at PH Kyoto with no suite?
I was so glad to found your channel and find your presentation so easy to follow and thorough; I really appreciate it. With your information, I found myself a return Business Class ticket from SFO to TPE by transferring my AMEX Platinum points to Flying Blue reward. Thank you very much!
I use BA miles on AA and easily get 2 cents per mile because the route is less than 650 miles. Not to mention the flexibility you gain when using points over cash.
I'm curious if there is info somewhere about how long it takes to transfer points to the different partners. For example, It's been my experience that Hyatt transfers are instant but Bonvoy takes a couple of days. I'm always afraid availability might change during that transfer time.
Hey Max, I enjoy flying JAL a lot but very often I only see award availability on AA but not BA for savers e.g. HND - JFK J class for 60,000 AA . Is there a reason behind it?
Wow. Your video is fantastic. I am planning to go the Maldives in May with Chase UR point 350,000. Based on your lecture, I may use Hyatt points for Hotel and use Qatar for 3 flights?
Yeah not surprised, 😕 ANA releases the award space to their members first and then opens it up for partner airlines if there’s any award space left. Not easy finding ANA business or first class award space. If you’re traveling within 2 weeks it might be easier
Is the Singapore Airlines award space still available on Aeroplan? Can’t see any availability on Aeroplan that I’m seeing available on the Singapore airline site.
Aeroplan has removed premium cabin award space for a lot of airlines for the time being. No explanation or reasoning for that. I’ve been keeping in eye on in the last couple months and it hasn’t changed
Any ideas on what’s the cheapest way to go from JFK -> HKG -> TPE? TPE & HKG can be switched if needed. Looking to go around end of Nov 2024. Thanks in advance!
