British Airways Executive Club recently began selling subscriptions to receive a monthly allotment of Avios (the airline’s loyalty program currency) at discounted prices. This could offer surprisingly good value to Australians when using those Avios to book Qantas domestic flights or Qatar Airways Business Class flights to Europe!

Also in this episode, Matt sits down with AFF forum moderator JessicaTam to talk about Qatar Airways Qsuites, airline lounges, travelling without checked baggage, gifts for the cabin crew, and lots more.
