    Max, thank you for these videos. I learned so much since coming across your account and I recommended your channel to all my friends :) We flew to Milan back in December, we booked economy and paid $$, but on the return flight we upgraded to business class for 37k per person (family of 4) and experienced their lounge and the cutting age premium cabin on the A380. Can't wait to do it again and try out Qatar next :) Keep them coming, your way of explaining is everything, really comprehensive and detailed. Can't wait to see your channel grow.

      37k points to upgrade is not a bad deal at all! Thanks for watching and hope you’ll get to experience Qatar qsuites soon!

    Try to book the A380 when possible and not the 777. Also, booking through Aeroplan from SFO to DXB can be another option as you'll most likely get A380.

    I'd take that 102k First Class flight! But a caution with the business class from Mexico City to BCN... that one is on the 777. Also it has no first class, it's all business with the 2-3-2 configuration.

    Hi Max! What’s your favorite tool for finding award availability? Or at least optimal combination of tools? Also, do you still use Expert Flyer?

    • @MaxMilesPoints
      @MaxMilesPoints  ปีที่แล้ว

      Use seats.aero to identify saver award space
      And Point.me searches and does the partner airline comparisons for you
      www.point.me/?pid=300
      That’s my favorite combo as of right now
      Expert flyer is cool but I’ve become less and less reliant on it
