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.
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?
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?
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!

💯 just got to pay a little more in taxes and fees but I'd gladly pay the fees for the low redemption rates and the award space!

Thanks man!
Used flying blue from nyc to Copenhagen and took advantage of transfer bonuses where I spent only 88k round trip!
Same I spent 80K PP flying RT between D.C & Paris in biz
Niceeee redemption 🙌🏼
I didn't know you could book JAL flights through British airways... This is a game changer for me (living in japan near a JAL only airport)
That was awesome - thank you!
I don't see any of those links you're talking about
great advice
Good work Max. I have learning a lot from you. Keep it up

🔥 nice job on the redemption! I’m assuming you’re flying China Airlines?

Could you make a video or a short on how to book a flight from the east Coast to Thailand Using amex or chase ? Thank you!.
Very helpful
I'd love to see a video like this for the VentureX
great video as always
Thank you! Thanks for being here!
If I transfer all my points of AE and Chase to virgin Atlantic, would I be able to book Delta One to PVG? Please advise, thank you.
Still waiting for that ANA availability for Japan to book with Virgin Atlantic ):
Nothing out for where I'm at even a year out 🤣

nothing beats transferring to UR to Hyatt
super easy way to get good value out of chase points!
What is UR?
@@edwardalexander8904Chase Ultimate Rewards points
Which airlines I can book with chase points from LAX to Chicago?
United, Southwest, or American Airlines (through British Airways)
When in the world i can book an award seats. Still earning pts for it 😢
Is it possible to do one with Amex points?
Can you do one for Amex?
Hyatt will be better for most people, especially those not flexible enough to snag the award flight speed spots

Hi how many points does one dollar give
3 grand for a 1 night stay is absolutely ridiculous
Are you allowed to transfer points to someone else’s travel partner’s account even if they’re not an authorized user on your chase account?
No, that's a good way to get your account flagged and maybe shutdown
hi
Hi!
omg this is so confusing. Who is the best domestic flying partner?
There’s only two Southwest and United
👍🏾
Air canada, aero plan? Checked throughout the year - there are zero premium or business class seats available and maybe 5 economy dates per month
first
