award availability

Sign up at seats.aero using the code LETSGETPRO for a US$20 discount bringing the annuals cost down from US$99.99 to US$79.99. Also available for US$9.99 per month. This is an excellent tool for helping to find VA and QF award seats. <referral link redacted>

Hi, I would love any feedback from anyone who has managed to book an award flight in January from Hong Kong. I am trying to get HKG-PER from between the 3rd-7th of January. I have checked Asia Miles daily since January this year and nothing. Nothing is available HKG to any of The Australian...

I was just having a look on the Virgin Australia website for Velocity reward seat availability from EWR to LHR on United. United has around six daily flights on this route, and there's plenty of non-stop saver award availability in Economy on the many dates I looked at, which you could book...

Just tried to amend my booking to head overseas. The original booking was CNS-SYD-ADL-KUL. But with the release timing of domestic Qantas flights, the trip to ADL was 7 days before we actually want to leave. Rang today as the fares are now available for the day we want. But NOOOOOO! "Those fares...

Booked a domestic business class Garuda flight from CGK-DPS for October using 15500 VS points for P2 but it seems Garuda are only releasing 1 award seat per flight even though inventory appears to be wide open. I recall several months ago there was large amount of award availability in J class...

Hey all, got an unfortunate situation (well, at least in the sense of an avoidable facepalm moment) Have been lucky enough to confirm & ticket (just last night on the call centre) for myself and wife 2 x F on EK SYD to BLQ classic rewards next week, and then with one other person needing to...

Thought this warranted a separate post due to how rare it is. There's currently some business class award availability on the PER-LHR route. Mostly in November it seems. Get it while it lasts.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has seen many or any premium economy reward seats (not classic plus) on either MEL - LAX SYD- LAX Or even BNE-LAX? If they exist, my husband is a gold FF so when should we set the alarm to search for them? Trip is Aug 2025 4 pax Also does anyone have any...

Hi - I am looking to book a return flight to London from Sydney and have a heap of points. Nothing comes up for the dates that I am after when I search for a return flight but after a lot of navigating, I can book this as a multi city - Sydney - Singapore, Singapore - London, London - Sydney...

Does anyone use this website? https://maxmypoint.com It seems to track award night availability at Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott and IHG hotels and finds the best value redemptions.

Does anyone know a way to see Thai Airways award availability without having to transfer points to them? I have a zero balance with them and want to see availability before I transfer any Amex points. Failing that, does anyone know if availability shows up if you have at least some Royal Orchid...

Is it just my imagination or has Latam award seats out of SYD /MEL to SCL completely dried up? Can’t see anything in late 2024…

I'm planning on visiting Europe next year and thought I'd have a look at QF to see what J awards would be available. To my surprise (and delight) I discovered that from February through June just about every other day I can get business classic awards on Qantas. To give you a concrete example...

The J classic redemption NRT-BNE is available when I booked it for MrsAlbatross as part of her itinerary. Now being short of points I want to book myself NRT-BNE as a one way J redemption but it wont show on the website. It will show if I do it as part of a BNE-NRT-BNE itinerary. I wont have...

Combined with the Business Class release on Qantas-operated services to Europe, Qantas has also released a lot of Business and First Class availability to the USA in the summer months: Happy booking! EDIT: There's up to 2 F seats on many of those flights as well

Qantas has just released 6,000 extra Business and Economy Classic Reward seats on every flight to London and Rome between June and August 2024 - perfect for those looking to redeem Qantas points to Europe during their next summer. Happy booking! Get in quick ;) I'm seeing up to 4 Business...

Just had a look for VA reward seats on the PER-XCH and PER-CCK routes, and couldn't find a single one any time in the next year. Is VA blocking redemptions on this route?

I was trying to book a redemption flight for me and my partner from Helsinki back to either/or SYD/MEL/CBR/DPO, but could not find a single redemption flight to Australia for December/Jan. Then I found alternative flights all the way to KL, which is an excellent place for a few days' break. Now...

How do you know if there is 'accurate' emirates reward availability on the emirates website without having points in your account and clicking through to different menus. QF website is easier to click through to a point where you need enough points to book. Reason I ask is I don't want to...

I was a bit surprised to find just now that Qantas has J reward seats on QF5 PER-FCO on several dates over the next month. Get in quick if you want to book a last-minute business class trip to Italy using your Qantas points ;) There are also a few PE seats. I can't see any J seats coming...
