I flew Iberia business in October 2023. I probably booked it in January or maybe February and I knew about it because of a video you did prior to that time. I have used your tutorials many times to learn how to book flights. It has been one of the best learning tools for me. Thank you for all your great content.
Thanks Max! Very helpful as always
Can never go wrong with AC Aeroplan, the only thing is to pay attention if the itinerary is business class all the way or "mixed cabins" depending on where you're flying to. Always clutch with these tips Max💥
because you actually show us how to redeem points, i made it a mission to come back to your video and use your referral link and just got approved for the chase business ink cash card! keep it up man love your channel
Great Video! Also, congrats on hitting your 50K Sub Goal!
Congrats on 50k subs Max!
Awesome video man
I love flying blue best.
Have you ever made a video on buying economic seats and then upgrading them to business class seats using miles either from the airlines or using partner airlines. Any thoughts?
Bump
Can you do a video on Maximizing points value for Business Class ticket to India? Because, other than the widely-hated AirIndia, I'm not aware of any non-stop flights from the West coast. And once we're talking about a one-stop flight, the point requirements all seem to be jacked up for those additional few thousand miles. (E.g. Singapore airlines).
Please do this with Amex points !
This video was extremely helpful; I’m going to Italy in mid-September 2024 from Chicago and want to fly business class
Glad you find it helpful! hope you find the award availability for your flights!
I did this same trip but February of 2023. If you can get Turkish airlines on their new A350 (Aeroflot layout) then do it. Oh...maybe you can find it on Aeroplan, but if you have points with Citi or Capital One then you can one way ORD > IST > FCO for 45k points (if your layover in IST is longer than 9 hours in business class they book you a hotel, or you can have a free 2 or 3 day stopover where they pay for the hotel as well as transportation to the hotel and back to the airport. It's a ridiculously good deal. Also, it grants you access to their Business Class lounge, which is straight ridic. Otherwise, I would probably try Iberia or Flying Blue if you're absolutely limited to Ultimate Rewards, assuming Flying Blue has a transfer bonus (which is very common).
no way i'm first :) - thanks for the tips Max!
Does Air Canada pts expire?
Whats best redemption strategy for Shanghai to San Francisco business round trip?
I know you specialize in business class and first class experiences but does it ever make sense to travel economy with points internationally or domestic?
Every time I look for a business redemption...it's like a bizilion points. When are you seeing these Air Canada point amounts?
Can you make one for Hawaii airlines they are very different
This is helpful information. The music could be slightly toned down.
Thanks for the feedback, I agree and will keep that in mind for future videos!
i was searching flying blue for ATL to CUN and there were lot of delta flights available one day and then i don't see any next day. anyone else run into similar situation?
Great video! Question: I have recently purchased a one way flight on Singapore Airlines traveling in business class from NYC to Perth, Australia. (Connecting in Singapore.) Is it best to use my Air France or Air Canada Frequent Flyer Number to receive credit for the purchase and the flown miles? Initially I added my United Airlines Frequent Flyer Number. However, I now realize that doing so is not the smartest decision. I have Chase Sapphire Reserve Points that I am accumulating and using for obtaining any future business class seats you Europe or Australia/NZ from the East Coast of the USA. What would you suggest? What would you do? Thank you!
United can be great for Partner flights, not redeeming directly for United Flights. It's also great for the "Excursionist" redemptions. This could come in handy when traveling to Europe or Asia (*NOT JAPAN*, unless you're planning on leaving Japan for a different Asian country). What's also cool is that you can "stack" Excursionist redemptions to do "full or round trip itineraries" (last time I checked). This is probably worth it for partner airline redemptions, but UA has devalued their domestic valuations of their miles so much it doesn't make sense to even bother looking unless you have to. Otherwise, FlyingBlue is always a great option and the next best for UR points with *A is going to be AC Aeroplan.
What about Avianca plan for star alliance?
Good option for Amex points. Chase points don't transfer to Avianca Lifemiles
Ibeira has been my only business class redemption, I only get 3-4 subs a year so redeeming 1/2 or 2/3 a sub on a business class flight is hard for me to justify
Max please send a link for Chase credit card application I like u to get the credit. Thanks

Thank you!
US to Asia can be lower than 75K, I'm flying SEA to TPE for 71,500 or 60K with 20% transfer bonus. From TPE, you can find flights to SE Asia for less than $100.
What airline?
Turkish offers flights from US to Asia for 67.5k miles if you find saver award space. Typically it's any *A airline, but if you're lucky you'll get TK all the way from a US hub direct to IST then direct to your SE Asia destination (my example was BKK).
@@markkaroo , SEA to YVR, and YVR to KIX is with Air Canada, KIX to TPE is with EVA. All business class except for SEA to YVR which is only an hour flight.
Right now i have been looking on partner airlines to ASIA from West Coast NA and I get nothing.... sometimes I see an AC flight for business 250k 1 way....
@@deltamoney2742right now may suck because of all the flight cancellations across the US for weather related issues. I was looking earlier for award availability to PR and it was hard finding anything on BA exec club. I think a lot of the lack of availability is simply cancellations related due to weather. But it is slim pickings out there right now, for sure!
I have 110,000 Chase points and I’m interested in travel to Thailand from the west coast of USA. I would appreciate any thoughts
I recently tried to book Iberia with points I would transfer from Chase. I wanted to book business class from JFK to Madrid. It was listed as off peak on the site you showed, but when I went to book with points, there was no availability for the entire the week I was trying to travel. Definitely disappointing.
lol
Booked business class to Paris non stop from Dallas for 50k per person through Flying Blue, and Iberia business class on the way back for 42,500 per person. I’ve heard the same thing about Iberia, but how can you pass up 42,500 for an 11 hour flight in business class? Guess I’ll find out how bad it is 😂
With enough wine, a terrible seat has the possibility of being enjoyable!
Still beats economy! And expect the cabin to be super hot like a sauna LOL
Can Air Canada still book ANA flights? I haven't been able to find any ANA flights on their website anymore. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if Air Canada ended their partnership with ANA.
Yes you can , it just might be that there is no award availability 🥲
Great video,
Ive found lifemiles better than AC for the amount of miles required and the fees
Cheers
It depends on what routes but LifeMiles is a good option. But not for Chase points since Chase points don’t transfer to LifeMiles
In my experience Aeroplan is really bad value flying out of SFO to Europe. I have never seen anything prices lower than 55K in economy for a oneway when United are offering the same flights for as low as 27K. I regularly see Business on minutes for 88K but the lowest I’ve seen on Aeroplan is 139k and requires a double connection in YYZ and YUL and is also mixed cabin itin. The bloggers love to push Aeroplan though. Makes me wonder if they are being rewarded for pushing Aeroplan.
Sort the results lowest to highest. by default the results don’t show the lowest option at the top. Air Canada likes to show their flights at the top which is why you’re seeing YYZ and YUL. 88k on United is likely saver business award space (if it’s business fare class (I)), which you should find on Aeroplan as well. Find saver awards on United (while NOT logged into your United account) and you’ll likely find the same saver awards on air Canada. Bloggers love to push Aeroplan because it is a good star alliance redemption option. I’ve never been paid by Aeroplan and if I did I would have to disclose it or else I’d be taking a risk of getting fined by the ftc and Aeroplan would be taking a risk too.
Currently holding 700k CUR (Chase Ultimate Rewards) & 300k AMR (Amex Membership Rewards). I’m really trying to book a 2 week trip fully paid with points to Japan, please help. Or maybe 1 week in Bali, 1 week in Japan then return to NYC. For May 2024. Please help
Love your content, but this backing music is really distracting.
Thanks for the feedback I’ll make sure it’s lower in the next videos
agreed, I like the background music but it is a little too lound
Somebody please tell me HOW IN THE WORLD do you get Air Canada US to Europe for 60-90k points??? I've been looking for a few days now and I can't find anything under 200k! A few at 150k if you want to take a 20 hr total 2 stop flight. I really don't get it. I've got 280k UR points right now and trying to book a trip to Europe, hell, anywhere business class from SFO or LAX and can't find anything close.
You'll want to find flights not operated by air canada. Lufthansa, Swiss, United, or even Austrian Airlines
@@MaxMilesPoints when I try to search Air Canana to Europe from MSP, it says I will be charged in Canadian or points, with foreign transaction fees? Is this par for the course of using Air Canada or am I doing it wrong?
If it’s lay flat and I can sleep I don’t care what airline it is. 😂
i'm with you on that, get me a good deal and i'll fly anything with a lie flat seat haha
Anything but a 737 Max 🫠
@@IanMaschalI don't think any Max airframes have lie flats. I know some A321XLR do.
@@ryanshannon6963yea it was just a joke since one of the window plugs came out mid flight.
@@IanMaschal only airbus narrow body has lie flats...
