Great video! I’m low on chase points and am hoping to book Spain next year. Dumb question, but let’s say I only have $500 worth of Avios points, could I exhaust those and pay the rest on credit card for business class? Or do I need the full amount for the round trip flight with avios points?
Great video Max! Can you do a future video more on Avios in general with how to combine them for British Airways Aer Lingus and possibly Qatar airways. Supposedly they are combinable but I have never figured out how.
Great video Max! I think part of my hardship is booking these when the time is right. I have to consider my husband's schedule too and he slows me down. He doesn't like to book until he gets work approval. Otherwise, I'd be traveling more.
Thanks for the info! I'm trying to book to Madrid from Chicago 6 months out, but no matter what date I choose the business section is not available. Does this mean everything is filled?
So looks like I messed up pretty bad. I just booked my Iberia business class with British airways and I paid 50,000 points instead of 34,000. I wish I could cancel it and rebook it with Iberia.
Great video and great explanation. You did mention that usually there only are only two seats available for rewards redemption. Is that the average for all airlines? That’s a small number of seats. I am trying to book a flight from US to Italy in Emirates for Sept but can’t find any flights. Maybe that’s why?
Iberia blows me. They don't got any flights to Japan. 😭 Trying to find the cheapest flight in points with the least amount for cash. Any experience with Eithad?
If you're looking to do flights to Japan, consider transferring points to Virgin Atlantic for as little as 45k you can get from the U.S. to Japan in business class
@@MaxMilesPoints I would but it cost near $800 out of pocket. I get that I can do business class cheaper but I'd rather not spend any money on the flight at all.
How soon should I look United Airlines website for ANA availability? since I am looking calendar and checking day by day but none of ANAN flight is showing up as an available 😞 should I wait till the dates gets close to my desirable date? or LAX to TOKYO is generally very popular route this is why never showing availability? or if I call Virgin Customer Service, can they look into all available dates for Business or First Class with ANA? Please help 😞!?
Thanks to this video-- I booked my first ever biz flight.!! I watch your videos and I follow along pretending I am also booking! I love your content. Thank you!
Nice video! You said you dont know when the transfer bonus occurs. Is there a way to get notification via email when it does occur, like if you are an Iberia club member?
Transfer to British Airways then move them to Iberia. But your Iberia account needs to be open at least 90 days and you need at least one activity in your Iberia account
Just got back from Madrid trip on my first business class booking from cc points following this video. Great instructions and loved staying at the thompsons Madrid (his other video). Can’t wait for more videos from max
Loving your Channel! But I do have a question: how can Virgin Atlantic be less miles to transfer but still being able to fly Delta to certain destinations and how can they get away with that?
Hi Max, love the super low redemption tip through Iberia! I have been trying to create an Iberia Plus account for a month or two via their site and mobile and both give me an error. Have you heard of this happening by chance or anyone who has found a way to actually get a new account created so they can transfer points to Iberia? Thanks, keep the great content coming!

Thanks for replying! Sorry for not being clear with my question. I see there has to be a minimum of points you need to book it + cash. What I should’ve asked was if I can book with let’s say 3k points and the rest cash so I can still save albeit small.
This is the best video I ever seen on redeeming cc points for flights, this guy is professional, please keep making videos like this
You can do this with Capital One, too. You just have to book through British Airways. I just looked and it's 68k RT just like through Iberia directly.
This channel is Gold!

Since you always book out of ORD, which airline do you use for the positioning flight, flying out of SAN as well, thanks Max
The transfer of AMEX MR points to Iberia is instantly too.
Great video Max! Can you do a future video more on Avios in general with how to combine them for British Airways Aer Lingus and possibly Qatar airways. Supposedly they are combinable but I have never figured out how.
Thanks for the idea, I'll make an Avios specific video! Can't wait until Qatar Qsuites will be bookable with Avios!
Second this! I wondered if I can transfer Avios between different programs!
@@MaxMilesPointsIt’s not possible? Even transferring avios to Qatar airways from British?
@@PLC19 it’s possible to combine them all together now (this is an older video before Qatar was part of avios

I love your step by step Video. Can you recommend a website to shop for flights with points. I am willing to pay for the site if needed. Thanks
When do you choose your seats? I'm looking to book through economy with my family
Looks like the popularity of this has eaten up all the flights for the foreseeable future
I'm new to the whole using miles and points to travel, and your videos are so easy to understand! I'm always looking forward to seeing your videos👍
Glad you are enjoying the videos! I'll try to make more videos!
The calendar link doesn't work, can't see the date
Max do one for " how to fly to Japan" from California!!
Business class fights sound dope
New travel hacker here, and I just have to say, your accounts are my favorite out of all the ones I follow! So clear and concise yet thorough!
Thank you for following!

Thanks for this content! Where do you usually look for the transfer bonuses? Airline directly or cc portal?
The website won't allow me to enter the airport codes, anyone else having this issue?
website?
Wonderful video !!! Thx a lot for the knowledge sharing…
What about transferring Avios from BA to Iberia?
no

@@brucebanksshow if you find ANA availability it’s somewhere around ~$150 in taxes and fees.

Newbie here. Is there a workaround to tranfer Capitol 1 points to Iberia?
Transfer to British Airways then move them to Iberia. But your Iberia account needs to be open at least 90 days and you need at least one activity in your Iberia account
Max, I just booked this flight on British airways, can you tell me how much is my seats? Do I need to go to Iberia website and when? Thank you
I've learned SOOOO much from your videos!!
Glad to hear it! 🙌🏼. I’ll try to make more videos!
Just got back from Madrid trip on my first business class booking from cc points following this video. Great instructions and loved staying at the thompsons Madrid (his other video). Can’t wait for more videos from max
Excellent information and clearly presented. Where can I ask more questions? Your knowledge base is outstanding!
This is the type of video that is super helpful! Would love more videos like this! Keep doin God’s work. Thank you!🙏🙌
Thank you so much for doing this!!! Much appreciated..
Loving your Channel! But I do have a question: how can Virgin Atlantic be less miles to transfer but still being able to fly Delta to certain destinations and how can they get away with that?
Do you know if I could use my Iberia account and miles to book a ticket for someone else? Thanks
Idk if you're going to see this but are these set prices are do they fluctuate??
Set prices based on the Iberia award chart
@@MaxMilesPoints this is an old video. Thanks for replying

Thanks for the vid! I didn't realise the tax and fees were so high! That's almost the cost of a flight ticket itself!!!
Hey, is there a 90 day wait time to transfer Chase Saphire points to Iberia Avios?
Can you please do a video about how calculate to compare cash and points value and when it’s best to book with cash than points.
When u fly constantly to Spain and got a chase reserve and Amex card 😈😈 thanks for posting the vid 💪🏽💪🏽
??
lets goooo
Letttsssss goooooo 🙌🏼
Thank you!! So helpful.
Iberia flies from SFO too

Can you pay a combination of points and cash if you don’t have enough points?
Yup see timestamp 00:06:30!
