Best content ever

I booked a $50k trip for only 2400$ thanks to you. LIKE WOW you’re the best. WE NEED MORE HOTEL VIDEOS LOL

Saw some availability from NYC to SIN for 87.5K miles which are amazing for a 19 hours non stop flight in business class. Aeroplan has become the top mileage program no doubt!

This worked! Thanks so much! Just booked LAX-SIN business for 87k miles🎉

I noticed that lots of the availability, even across the pacific, have as many as 5 J seats per flight, which is a huge deal if you're travelling with more than just 1-2 people. Recently booked a trip from the west coast -> SIN, and SIN -> Japan/Korea for 4 people. Getting award space for that many people in a top tier airline for good redemption value is close to unheard of!

This is exactly how I booked our trip to manila with 5 days stop over at japan for 92.5k aeroplan points! I wanted to book ana biz class but they only have 1 seat availability and im traveling with my mom. Can’t wait for august to come! My mom is really excited for her 1st biz class flight. As always thank youu for the info!

Love your content! Thank you for showing how to book these step-by-step, it is incredibly useful. I am excited to try Singapore airline Biz class on a long haul in the future.

Another thing to mention is that Amex transfer redemption on aeroplan is 1:1 when krisflyer is now 2:1 and going up to 3:1 next month! Thank you so much!

These are wonderful videos! They are so very helpful! Please keep them coming! Thank you!

You have THE BEST content. I follow you on IG and have subscribed since last year. I purchased a spreadsheet from you. You are terrific! I so appreciate your how to videos as a bit of a noob in this hobby. Thank you so much.

You’re really killing it with these videos. Thank you Max!

So cool, Max! Planning a trip to SE Asia in 2024, so this will be super helpful when it comes time to book. Also, you're killing it - LOVE seeing your growth here on KZfaq. Congrats!

I can't wait for you and Prince of Travel to do a Collab

Best CONTENT ever. Straight up facts. Can you do a series for specific destinations and how to redeem points? For example, How to travel to vietnam on points, not because its my hometown lol😂😂

Nice work around! Awesome work thank you!

Another great video! Even if I don't use the exact information from it, I am learning a lot about how frequent miles work. Thank you for the awesome content!

Hi Max - wanted to share that thanks to this video and your tips, I was able to make my first J redemption ever using Aeroplan and Amex points! I got lucky and found award space flying Singapore Airlines from JFK to SIN and then on to Bali. Thanks for all you do, I'm super excited to experience SQ business class!

Can you do a video on the best/cheapest way to fly to Dubai from London on points?

Extremely helpful videos, just subscribed! Looks like award availability on the way back is harder to find (Singapore/SE Asia to SFO or LAX). I have been trying to book an award ticket from Bali back to SF at the end of March from my honeymoon but not finding anything except waitlist options in Singapore directly through krisflyer. Was able to get award tickets to Bali from dubai on emirates via aeroplan using your earlier tip!

Thank you, this is very helpful, I can finally try Singapore airlines business!

Max, you're the man. You make finding good value award flights way easier. Loved this and your Turkish Airlines video. Found a business class flight from Seattle to Vienna via Istanbul then back from Zurich with a stopover in Istanbul for 130 points and $1175 RT for 2 because of your Turkish video. Hope to find a Singapore flight too! Too bad no first class through Aeroplan but Singapore Business is pretty damn good too.

Great vid 🙌🏻 I’m pretty seasoned at booking aeroplan by now and cannot find anything between now and end of August. Is there any way to show availability of reward flights so we don’t have to search every date combo? The flights I’m getting are 24-48 hr legs with connections from both sfo and Yvr to Singapore. Keep up great work!

This is awesome, thank you Max please keep it up 👍

Can you please also do a video on the return ticket from Asia to USA? I normally find it very expensive from Asia to USA.

Another great video thank you Max! I'm looking forward to taking this flight this fall!

Love your videos, Max. Keep up the good work!!

Max, I miss you so much!!! I miss your videos bruh!!! This is why I follow you!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!

I love aeroplan

Great videos Max👍👊 I wanted to let you know that recently, I have been unable to see the weekly flight options on Aeroplan. I'm not sure if this is a widespread issue, or if it's just affecting me I thought you should be aware of this, in case you were planning to use Aeroplan for any upcoming travel arrangements. It might be a good idea to check with their customer support team to see if there are any known issues that are causing this problem. Please let me know swell. Thanks 🙏& Keep up the good work.

Thank you for creating this amazing content, Max - I was able to book a trip to Thailand with Etihad and Singaport using my aeroplan

I booked LAX to NRT on SQ using Aeroplan for 75k/pp for dec 23. What a great redemption!

Max this is such a helpful video. But I’m not finding success. Singapore air has a couple direct flights from ewr to sin in March. But then when I go to air Canada there’s no ewr to sin flights showing up. 😢

OMG I needed this in April

The availability of these kinds of redemptions are very limited. However, if you can find them, book them!

Even though I don’t see much of ANA rewards availability. This will work too! Thank you! 👍🏻

Max, how many points does it now for December 2023? I found the price is ridicious. Ugh.

Im very new to this and learning how to redeem miles cheaper way. Would this still work if departing from MNL to SFO ? Also all the examples are searched one way should i search again for return flight separately ? SFO-MNL?

Just did a check. I don't think I could find any business from SFO to Sin or Taiwan with business class. Mixed cabin sure but it requires layover, ugh!

Excellent as usual. Really good stuff.

Great video. I dont have that much pts, thinking tp buy economy or premium economy, and then upgrade to biz using pts. Hope you can make a video on best way to do this...... looking to fly from sfo to malaysia, on a Sin airljne

Thanks Max! But it looks like the 5k stopover option is gone? It shows to me the same miles as booking two separate tickets.

If these miles can't be used to pay my mortgage then they are meant to be spent. You don't have to always fly business or 1st to another side of planet. Maybe a 4 day break economy from JFK TO LHR 😉

I was transferring points from Chase. It took 30hrs and my flight was gone 😭

Singapore Airlines stop doing their stopover option? One of the ones I did pre-pandemic was JFK-FRA-SIN, stopover in FRA.

Thanks for this awesome video! Do you have any information about how often Krisflyer waitlist reservations go through? It says I'll know 2 weeks before departure but I'm afraid by that point it'll be too late to find another award flight..

I just searched a year in advance and cannot find any business class flights with Singapore Airlines from San Francisco to Singapore.

So I purchased a flight with points via Aeroplan to New Zealand, how do you insure the flight should something go wrong (health issues, death in the family, etc.). After searching the internet I can see that flights purchased with points are not insurable. Can I go back and pay for cancellation insurance? I purchased the return with United.

why when i search there's no nice point like your, only mixed cabin and also operated by other airlines. i would like singapore airline only. how to get the best date?

Tried searching for both EK and SQ J availability though Aeroplan but I was unable to find any seats, would you know why?

This sounds great but not sure if it works the other way from Asia back to US. I was trying to book from Hanoi to LAX and couldn’t find business award from Air Canada for this route. On Singapore website, the route from HAN to LAX is 107K Krisflyer miles.

Max:Thank you for your helpful video, I looking for Lax to Pvg business class, which airline miles can apply for?

Thank you Max!! BTW I have noticed that for certain flights even though I can find seats on two individual flights (A-B and then B-C), when I research directly (A-C) it didn’t show the route of A-B-C somehow… have you ever experienced this kind of issue? Thx!

Have you ever purchased a flight in economy or premium economy with cash and then upgraded with points or vice versa?? I'm interested and learning how to do that to stretch my points

i did the same search and did not find any direct flight from SFO to Singapore...did not work

Hey @MaxMilesPoints, I’m curious if this only works with SQ flights out of North America. I was looking at flights between Asian countries and couldn’t find it in the Air Canada app…?

Hey I can't find any direct flights with Aeroplan, they always have to go through Air Canada and then Singapore airlines. Did they chage it?

Hi max question when you are traveling with air Canada business class they give you free luggage?

Great video! Just a flag here, after 1 year of the realize of this video, this doesn’t work….😢

Did Air Canada change their flight search engine? I can no longer see the week of availability and now just one day?

Can you kindly do a video on a flight to Zanzibar from IAD please?

Do you know if Air Canada would allow a booking from LAX-SIN-JNB? I can't find if they have any rules against this type of routing. I would assume the ticket cost would be 115,000 Aeroplan points for business class considering that Singapore shows Saver award availability.

Great info! 🤙🏼🤙🏼 TY. What if you want to go to Israel (TLV)

If I wish part of the travel in First?. Toronto YYZ to Manila. F is only part of the itinerary.

I'm trying to find a flight from LAX to BKK. I went onto Air Canada website and followed your video to look up Singapore airline flight but only Air Canada and United Airlines are the airlines offering flight to BKK. Did air Canada stop partnership with Singapore airline?

Do you happen to know if they release 4 seat per fight? I have a family of 4 but when I search for 4 it not available but show available for 2.

amazing video

I looked at booking Business Class to Zurich, where the Direct flight in Business was about 222,000 points. I used your partnered airline method and found a Swiss Flight (SWISS is part of Star Alliance) flying from Toronto to Chicago to Zurich for 87,000 points. This seemed like a great deal, but when I looked at the details, it was Business class only to Chicago and Economy to Zurich, which defeats the purpose since the long haul of the trip is from Chicago to Zurich, where you want to be in Business and not Economy. Why would Aeroplan/ Air Canada even bother to advertise this on their Site as Business Class when most of the flight would be economy?

Is it possible to do the maximization trip with the next one being Japan? I tried the strategy in the video and confirmed that they have SIN to HND but when I try to do SFO to HND, it doesn't pull anything up for Singapore Airlines.

Aeroplan is going crazy 🎉 Speaking of maximizing, is there any rhyme or reason to when transfer bonuses are announced, for any of the airlines programs?

Finished watching your video. Trying to do LAX to SIN for June 2024. I see availability on Singapore site. But when I go into Aeroplan to search it does not show for the same dates. Only show flights operated by Air Canada. What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated thanks

can not get the same result with 80K miles for business class if going to HKG or other places within the 11,000 miles option. do you know why and what can we do about it?

Wish I'd seen this before I booked.

Hi Max, thanks for the video good contents as always. I searched several dates on Singapore’s website which shows award availability but when I use Aeroplan instead to search for the same day, the flights do not show up, do you have any ideas why that happen? Am I doing anything wrong?

How much do you usually pay in fees for a business flight covered by points ?

hello! I'm looking up LAX-SIN and it's giving me biz class with "mixed cabin" in small print -- what does that mean? thx!

Hello, I would love some help, tips, or ideas for an upcoming trip. I have a collection of Chase Ultimate Reward points and I am trying to figure out how best to use them! My wife and I are traveling from Phuket to Los Angeles on either July 7th/8th of this year and we are trying to figure out how best to use our points to book airfare. We are not sure which travel partners to transfer points to, or if we should just book through the Ultimate Rewards Portal. Our goal is to maximize our points and hopefully have economy extra legroom seats or better. Please help if you can!

New sub! Need your information!

How about first class? I'm finding awards on singapore, but not on aircanda. Am I missing something?

Do stop overs also work with Asia Miles?

I don't see how you are saving money by saving on points. The difference is 19.5k points but what is the cash equivalent to Aeroplan's $74CA? You didn't address this. Isn't it more like 26 CAD? If so, then 107k points is the better deal.

How did you choose your seats once you booked your flight on Aeroplan? I booked a Turkish airlines flight on Aeroplan but am unable to choose my seats. Please help!

They have no ongoing flights to ICN

Hey! How do Aeroplane points get deposited for the chase AP card?

This is only 1 way right? So, if we do the round trip, it will be double the mileage.

Random question, Max. Are there any benefits that you don't have access to if you book via Aeroplan instead of directly with the KrisFlyer program? Specifically, I was wondering if a ticket through Aeroplan still allows someone to use Book-the-Cook feature (if leaving out of SIN) and access the Business Lounge at Changi? Thanks for your amazing tutorials!

Does it work for economy class too?

Did Aeroplan catch on? Not seeing any cheap ones like this now

Does Aeroplan ever offer transfer bonuses? Especially for Capital one venture?

Hey. Just did this exercise. Found a Singapore airlines reward flight from lax to singapore for 107k (no waitlist). Looked for the flight on air canada but there is no business class available. Only economy available. This is for a flight happening on July 2025. Does this happen often?

No availability during times you actually want to travel.

What about economy?

For some reason when I search EWR to SIN flights on Air Canada, none of the non-stop Singapore Airlines flights show up. Anyone know why?

Can someone help me book first class from austin to Delhi with Amex points?

Thank you!

Due to job and other obligations, not everyone has the luxury to book vacations 10 months in advance.

The info in these videos are only good for US travellers… as a Canadian I cannot use any of this info.

Ghost redemption they do not exist

Brother. I am Travel Agent. Actually i want to Ticket Business. But how can start i Don't. Where i can get this pts/ points. Can you help me any thing?

👍🎉💐🇨🇦

How do I know that Aeroplan is the cheapest portal for example to book the flight for Turkish arilines? Not Avianca Lifemiles or something else in Star Allience? How do I spot the cheapest ticket in points?
