It’s free to join Australian Frequent Flyer (AFF) as a Basic member and participate in our vibrant community forums. By creating an account, you’ll also see fewer advertisements, be able to send messages to other members and gain access to the beginner courses of our Frequent Flyer Training.
Did you know that AFF also offers upgrades to Silver, Gold and Platinum membership?
Upgrading is entirely optional, and you can still fully participate on the forum with a Basic membership. But if you do choose to upgrade, you’ll get access to some great additional benefits. You’ll also be supporting a home-grown Australian business to continue the work we do!
Plus, we recently revamped our AFF premium memberships to bring you some exciting new benefits.
Here’s a full overview of the benefits you can look forward to by upgrading your AFF membership…
