Award Flight Expert | Business Class on Points | Amex, Chase, Aeroplan
My clients fly business class for $6 in taxes on tickets that retail for $14,000 in cash. That's not a hack. It's not a loophole. It's what happens when someone who's spent 14+ years inside the award flight industry tells you exactly which transfer partner unlocks the cheapest seat. Wrong program: 125,000 points. Right program: 60,000. Same flight. Same seat. Same day. In plain terms: I help travelers book business and first class flights with Amex, Chase, Capital One, Citi, Bilt, Aeroplan, and other points and miles. Here's the trap most people fall into. The same business class seat from Chicago to Tokyo can cost 60K American Airlines miles or 125K Qantas points. 65K points wasted if you pick wrong. Multiply that by a family of four, and the wrong transfer partner just cost you 260,000 points. That's a free round trip business class to Europe, gone, because of one bad routing decision. Automated search tools miss this. They show phantom availability, cached results, and outdated award charts. You spend three hours trying to book something that isn't actually bookable. About me: 14+ years in the travel and hospitality industry, focused entirely on award flight redemptions. Started as a flight searcher in 2012, promoted to Regional Manager at two established award booking agencies where I led search teams handling complex business and first class redemptions. Since 2023, I've been consulting directly with travelers on Upwork. Across my career, my team and I have helped 15,000+ travelers redeem more than 1.85 billion points across 50+ loyalty programs. How I work as your award travel agent: Manual search across 50+ loyalty programs, no cached tools Transfer partner comparison so you spend the fewest points possible Direct verification with each airline before confirming availability Detailed written booking guide you follow step by step Travel planning for one-way, round trip, multi-city, and round-the-world routes Phone communication and email communication throughout the process Virtual assistance for ongoing trip changes and follow-up questions Recent client wins: Saved a family of two 180,000 Amex MR points on SFO to Ibiza business class. Cash value of that ticket: $9,400 Found 2 business class seats Berlin to Santiago using Miles and More during peak holiday. Retail price the client avoided: $11,200 Routed a client Chicago to Jakarta via KLM Flying Blue, 30K fewer points than United direct Who I work with: → US clients with points in Amex, Chase, Capital One, Citi, Bilt, Wells Fargo → Australians with Amex, Velocity, Qantas, CommBank Awards, or ANZ Rewards points → Canadians with Amex, Aeroplan, or RBC Avion points → Europeans with Amex, Miles & More, BA Avios, or Flying Blue points → Have a different program?
