Welcome to Course 5 of the Australian Frequent Flyer Training
Once you've accumulated a healthy balance of frequent flyer points, it's time for the fun part – spending them!
You can use frequent flyer points to book flights all over the world, including in Business and First Class. Unfortunately, reward seat availability is limited and airlines don't always make it easy to redeem your points effectively.
This course will show you how to redeem your points, including how to find award availability. Find out where to look for reward seats and how to search using both airline websites and specialised tools.
This course is exclusively for AFF Platinum members. If you're a Platinum member, simply log into your AFF account and click on the link below to get started. Otherwise, please upgrade your AFF membership.
