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!

When Cathay Pacific opened the Cabin in late 2010, it gave a glimpse into a new modern design philosophy for their ‘hard product’ – lounges, seating, etc. – which would be rolling out across their […]
My flight up to Hong Kong was on QF127, the daytime departure from Sydney at 11.50am. Although Qantas have recently started flying the A380 on this route, 3 days out of 7 are still operated […]
This was a quick weekend away, with a one night stay at the InterContinental Melbourne. I was in (relative) bargain hunting mode for this weekend, so I cranked up the IHG Friends & Family rate […]
