Creator's Key Takeaways

We saved thousands of pounds on flights on a 3 month trip around the world including primarily flights in first class, business class and a couple in economy.

We were able to find availability for the two of us to fly first class on British Airways to Bahrain.

It's a way of us getting a higher value experience that we would never be able to pay for and making it really accessible for us.

I definitely made sure I got my ยฃ100 worth of that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use points to book flights in premium cabins for better value.
โœ“Book reward flights about a year in advance for best availability.
โœ“Fly outside of the UK to avoid high taxes and charges on Avios redemptions.
