Along with many frequent flyers fed up with trying to book impossible-to-find points seats, given only 70 per cent of global air traffic is back, regular corporate traveller and sales director, Dan Lavis, has adopted a new strategy.
“I’m pretty confident I’ll be able to get what I need from early 2023 with some advance planning – and perhaps a willingness to fly to Europe via sub-Saharan Africa or the North Pole.”At the halfway point of the northern hemisphere summer, aviation geeks advise scoring a seat at the front end of the plane on points is a lost cause.
Having said that, another sore point for frequent flyers is they might pay “say $10,000 up to $18, 000 for a business class return seat even to get to a hub, but they still get the same number of points as if they’d paid $8000 pre-COVID because it’s the same distance flown,” Mr Hui said.Big foreign hubs in Asia and the Middle East have more airlines and more aviation traffic than Australia does, hence more points seats on offer – at least in theory.
Just love how this bribery (paid for by shareholders) is so normalised.
