Hey there, points people! Today, I'm chatting with Brighton and Mila, avid travelers and aviation enthusiasts.

In this episode we discuss tips for upgrading an economy ticket to business class using points, strategies to fly first and business class without a flexible schedule, using airplane layouts when booking your flights, and so much more!

If you want to earn points for a Qsuites flight, consider the American Express Gold Card.
