Score a luxurious Emirates first-class experience for less!

Fifth-freedomย flights offer a chance to fly in style at a significantly lower price point. Here are some great routes that I've managed to find in the past week. A great way to eliminate the 'Emirates tax' and fly in first.

Wise Travel Card

I've thoroughly enjoyed using the Wise card throughout my travels in Japan, the user-friendly app and the level of detail provided for each transaction were great Only the first ATM withdrawal was fee-free up to $350, for subsequent withdrawals, I would use my ING card which rebates the first 5 ATM withdrawal fees.

If you don't already have the card, feel free to use my referral link: https://wise.com/invite/ahpc/nathanw1081

Champagne and Caviar! ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿพ

The main difference between first and business is that the food and drinks gets more extravagant with caviar and vintage champagne often offered in First.
Would I pay more? Probably not but worth a try!

A comparison of classic rewards vs. classic plus flights for October 2024 in business class. While the new offering does increase the number of seats available, it definitely comes at a cost and ultimately is based on the cash prices of fares which can fluctuate.

It can be as low as 1.5x for NZ flights (even less if they're on sale) or as high as 10.1x for LA flights which are some of the most popular flights Qantas has to offer.

Points Devaluation

In the past year, over 175 billion points have been earned, up from 94 billion two years earlier. With over 15 million members, the main frequent flyer for those in Australia, could devaluation be on the cards for Qantas?

More recently, other programs such as Cathay's Asia Miles have devalued their points starting from the 1st of October. Amex Membership Rewards has devalued the transfer rate of Singapore Krisflyer and Emirates Skywards from 2:1 to 3:1.

The last time Qantas devalued its points was in 2019, where we saw the cost to redeem premium reward seats up to 15% more.

Could Qantas be next?

Just a heads up that the JR Pass price is going up by ~70% on October 1st, 2023. Announced in April this year, if you're planning on traveling to Japan soon, think about buying your pass before the 1st of Oct to save some $$.

Once you purchase your pass, you have 3 months to "exchange" it in Japan, so you could buy a pass in late September for travel in December.

DYOR to whether a single-trip ticket or even flying may be better for your travel plans.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Nathan, and I'm excited to introduce myself as the face behind the Points Captain page. With a passion for collecting frequent flyer points and exploring the world, I've embarked on a journey to help others unlock the incredible benefits of reward points.

Ever since I landed my first full-time job, I quickly realized that accumulating frequent flyer points was the key to experiencing the luxury of the "pointy end" of the plane. I've been fortunate to use these points to secure business class seats on flights around the world.

Whether you're planning your next getaway or seeking guidance on maximizing your reward points, I'm here to help. Don't hesitate to reach out and get in touch.

Feel free to also follow me on Instagram where I post tips, tricks and the occasional reward flight for inspiration.

Thanks everyone for the support Iโ€™ve received so far.

Qantas first class redemptions

Few and far between, first class redemptions are possible with enough flexibility. Some of the routes I've found for travel in the 12 months.

You'll likely enjoy some of the best champagne, caviar, and service in the air. They also represent some of the best ways to maximise the value of points with the Japan Air first class coming in at 12.9 cents per dollar!
