Over the coming months, many Qantas points collectors will attempt to redeem their points for Business Class flights to Europe during next year’s peak northern hemisphere summer season. It’s a great redemption… if you can get it. That’s where the problems start…

In this episode, James Green from Frequent Flyer Solutions explains how you can redeem Qantas points for flights to Europe, as well as other frequent flyer programs to consider that offer better value and award availability.

This episode also includes some follow-up discussion about last fortnight’s episode on Air Canada Aeroplan points.
