Award Booking Service
It can be difficult to work out how best to redeem your points and to find award availability. Airlines don't always make it easy to redeem your hard-earned points effectively. But there’s no need to waste hours searching for award seats that might not even exist!
We can help you with simple award flight bookings, right through to complex round-the-world itineraries. Our team knows how to find award availability, how to take advantage of frequent flyer program sweet spots, and we can help you to maximise free stopovers & open-jaws. If you have points with more than one airline or rewards program, we can also advise on the best program to use. So your points go even further!
Comprehensive Training Program
Our Training Program is the ultimate resourse for Australian travellers that want to learn how to travel better for less.
Informative Live Webinars
Our live webinars cover a wide range of topics of interest to frequent flyers, point collectors and anyone that wants to get more out of their travel.
By attending these hour-long sessions you’ll get to hear – directly from our experts – the very latest tips and strategies to travel better for much less! You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, and to interact with our team & other webinar participants.
