(1:12:37) - Beware the phantom menace. Tons of Swiss space that isn't real. (1:17:02) - Have some tricks up your sleeve. This could alternatively be called "persistence pays off". Don't give up right away. Examples include searching Avianca's site multiple ways, forcing a stopover with Aeroplan to get a flight to show up, booking a refundable something as a backup, etc. (1:20:10) - How do you go about finding activities while you travel?

Hey there, points people! This week I'm speaking with Maria from @traveling4theplayaprice. Maria hopes to inspire others to make the most of their opportunities with their loved ones. Award travel has made it easier for her to take her family along, making it more accessible and cost-effective. In this episode, Maria and I discuss flying from New York to Portugal in business class for 35k miles, whether business class is actually worth it, and the perks that come with Marriott Ambassador status. Maria transferred points to Flying Blue and Avianca LifeMiles. Having a card with transferable points, like the American Express Gold Card, gives you access to transfer to many airlines with your points, just like Maria. Remember, if you decide to apply for the American Express Gold Card or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator's referral link.

On this week's show Greg and Nick discuss the huge advantage of flying business class over economy or premium economy (and how airline miles make that possible at a reasonable cost), and debate the next step: is it worth paying more miles to fly international first class instead of business class? 00:00:48 Giant Mailbag00:03:14 What crazy thing did Amex do this week? • Amex sometimes claims that tax payments don't count... • See also: Pay taxes via credit card 00:09:54 Deal talk: Save 40% to 50% at Amazon.com 00:16:56 Award Talk • Lufthansa often releases first class award space near last minute • Aeroplan not always showing awards that are bookable with United and/or Avianca00:19:37 MAIN EVENT: Are first class awards worth paying more for? • 00:21:26 Comparing economy, premium economy, business class, and first class • 00:32:10 First class ground services (Lufthansa example) • 00:36:39 Award cost econ vs. prem econ vs. biz vs. first class (AA example) • 00:41:40 Special first class products that ARE worth paying a huge premium for • 00:47:33 Award cost econ vs. vs. biz vs. first class (Aeroplan example) • 00:51:04 Award cost econ vs. prem econ vs. biz vs. first class (Lifemiles example) • 00:55:00 ANA First Class vs. JAL Business Class • 00:58:22 Conclusion: Is it worth it? 01:03:07 Question of the week #1: Are Greg and Nick out of touch? 01:07:31 Question of the week #2: Status match to get international upgrade?
