    Great video but I need to point something out about the A321 Business Class redemption from DFW to MIA. The flight you picked was on an A321neo not the A321T so it is not the configuration they are talking about in the Award Wallet article. The 3 cabin A321T only flies transcontinental (JFK-LAX, JFK-SNA, etc) so the award flight from DFW to MIA would be in a standard A321 with the domestic first class interior, not lie flat seats. The list mentioned in the award wallet article is for the A321T plus domestic Widebody planes (777/787). You can get lie flat seats from DFW to MIA, but it would be on the 777 or 787, not the A321. Sorry to AV Geek out on you, but I would hate for somebody to book that flight thinking they were getting a lie flat and wind up with standard domestic first class.

      Yes! Here's a tutorial for Mint for LAX-NAS, but the same logic would apply for LAX-JFK or other transcon routes:

      Thanks! I've been told I also pronounce Qatar wrong (it's like "cutter"?) and I catch myself pronouncing "advertisement" wrong if I'm not paying attention. We have an episode on Air France coming up soon and that's going to be borderline hilarious listening to me butcher French pronunciations haha

      @@geobreezetravel omg. I cannot do French for the life of me.
      From my understanding, it’s both pronunciations of Qatar. One is the Arabic way and the other is the English.- like when we say MeXico and in Spanish it’s said “Mejico.”

    • @TheDjim49
      @TheDjim49 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I too fly AA from DFW and have flown direct to Hawaii using BA Avios. In order to see available flights on BA, you need to find saver award space. You can do that by using the calendar feature on AA. I searched BA just now and found space for October 8, 2024 for 20,750 Avios and $5.60. Hope this helps

    First time coming across your channel and it starts with nonsense. 0:55 you don't save your clients $30,000 by using their points instead of cash. Be responsible
    Points have a cost!

    • @geobreezetravel
      @geobreezetravel  7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Ok first of all -- you spent 200k miles on first class last year. Please tell me that wasn't for one flight. If it was, please subscribe for more points and miles tips each week because you can definitely get more out of those points.
      Second, it's not "free" even with points. If you normally get $30K per year with travel (with or without points) and then we help you stretch those points out to $60K with the exact same bucket of points, then $60K - $30K = $30K.
      That opportunity cost of not maximizing your points is $30,000.
      The aim is not to get people from $30K of travel costs to $0. It's more like getting clients $60K of travel for the same amount of points they used to only save $30K on their own.
      Because 60,000 minus 30,000 equals 30,000.
      Does that math make sense?
