The Australian Frequent Flyer MasterClass

Want to learn from the experts how to maximise your frequent flyer points, become an expert at booking flights, and network with other travel enthusiasts?

You’re invited to join our inaugural Australian Frequent Flyer (AFF) MasterClass! This in-person event will take place in Sydney on Saturday, 6 September 2025. This is a great way to supplement the knowledge gained from our Training Courses and Webinars.

Over a series of educational sessions, three of Australia’s leading frequent flyer program and travel experts will share their best tips and tricks to help you travel better, for less. You’ll learn practical skills, widen your knowledge and have lots of opportunities to ask questions. You’ll also get to exchange travel tips and tales with your fellow MasterClass attendees throughout the day, including over lunch and afternoon tea.

What the AFF MasterClass will cover

The sessions at the inaugural AFF MasterClass will give you the information and skills you need to:

• Make the most of the Qantas Frequent Flyer and Virgin Australia Velocity programs
• Know which international frequent flyer programs to join, why they are useful for Australians, and how to maximise the benefits
• Redeem your frequent flyer and credit card reward points for the best possible value, including lucrative Business and First Class reward flights
• Attain elite airline status
• Book simple and complex round-the-world tickets, saving thousands of dollars in the process
• Understand fare rules, including how to find the most relevant information and how to use it to your advantage
• Confidently use frequent flyer tools such as ExpertFlyer and Seats.aero
• Save hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars on taxes & fees when booking reward flights
