You never forget your first flight at the pointy end. My husband and I had just enough points to fly first class for our honeymoon. It took years of saving, checking rewards seat availability almost daily and booking in advance.
Basking in the glow of our nuptials, I boarded the plane with excitement as I made the coveted left turn into the premium cabin. Nerves tingling, I was sure the crew were scrutinising my outfit – one of five I had agonised over to look effortless but polished.
As I sat in the plush chair, sipping Dom Pérignon and tucking into Singapore Airlines’ legendary satay, my insecurities melted away with the crew’s warm and attentive service. From that moment, my obsession only intensified and I hunt down every hack to maximise airline points. Here’s how you can do it, too.
