Point Hacks

The best guides, deals and tips for
more frequent flyer points in New Zealand.

Flight & Hotel Reviews

How we’ve used our frequent flyer points

The Point Hacks team has redeemed a few million points, flown hundred’s of thousands of kilometres in First, Business Class and Premium Economy, and stayed in a range of great hotels in the last few years – all made possible at accessible costs by using points and miles.

In our reviews of some of these experiences, we’ve outlined how we earned the points and miles, and how we chose to spend them for each flight or stay. Hopefully you’ll get a sense of whether the flight or the hotel is one you’d also consider. If you’ve enjoyed the same flight or hotel, feel free to comment and let us know your thoughts too. Enjoy!

Qantas A330 Business Class Review – Perth to Auckland

A six-hour journey across to New Zealand with all the extras you’d expect from a Qantas long-haul international flight. A great use of points to get a five-star experience.

Cathay Pacific’s Business Class was comfortable, with good service and food – and on this trip I got to check out both of their different regional and long-haul Business Class seats.

Korean Air First Class Overview – Sydney to San Francisco via Seoul

January 12, 2017
Korean Air First Class Overview – Sydney to San Francisco via Seoul

A very comfortable bed, attentive service and great award availability, let down by some minor frustrations, gives this flight a solid four-star review. This is a great use of SPG Starpoints.

Qatar Airways Boeing 777 Business Class Overview – Houston to Doha

January 3, 2017
Qatar Airways Boeing 777 Business Class Overview – Houston to Doha

This is the same plane Qatar Airways will fly to Doha from Auckland from February 2017. We give it a four-star rating for its comfortable seat and bed, excellent food and drink offerings, and spaciousness of the cabin; at times unfriendly and spotty customer service, and a frustrating IFE and remote control let this flight down.
