    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.

    Great video Max! These are so helpful to people who haven’t used points before. Since United is now partners with Emirates, could we use United’s award calendar? Also, does booking business on Emirates give you access to their lounges and private boarding or is that only in certain locations?
