Wow right as you made these AA flights thru Qatar videos Amex drops a 30% transfer bonus to British Airways 😂 must be a sign cause I might need to book a short flight with American soon and Qatar is only 4.5k points each way with the bonus 🙏🏻 clutch
Dear Max, many thanks for your video. One question: if I like to transfer my Amex-Points to British Airways Avios do I just need a BA-Account or do I need beside the BA-Account at least one flight with BA to let's say activate the BA-Account?
Thanks, Max. Does this mean we can transfer Avios points from British Airways to Qatar and then redeem those Avios to get a ticket from OneWorld partners (e.g., JAL)?
Nice. Thanks, Max! Do you have a video to show us how to use Qatar Avios on partner airlines? I just tried on Qatar Airways' website but the site is not super user friendly. Especially I am interested a flight to Japan.
I want to take advantage of the 30% transfer bonus. I have like 500k Amex MR. I am thinking of transferring them all to either BA or Iberia. I only use my MR for flights and nothing else and the One World airlines usually work for where I’m trying to go to (Europe & Asia). Should I transfer them all or only a bit? Thank you 😊
Can you do a video on how to find award flights on Fin air?? Literally every date I search for says no flights available. yet, other airlines see availability like British airways and Qantas.
I have combined my BA with Qatar, but there’s an error which is popping up on linking finnair with Ba . Any way by which I can do so? Tried connecting to BA but not responding.
I booked a AA flight via Qatar Avios. But had to cancelled as my travel date changed and tebooked AA via Qatar avios. However, it's been over a week and I still don't see my avios redepisited yet. Although I got email stating will be refundido at time of cancellation. What is the wait time for Qatar to refund/redeposit avios back to my account?
I'm looking to book an Avios award flight on QR metal and transferring points to BA with the AMEX bonus. Points and taxes of the flight are equal whether I book with BA or QR. Would there be any advantage in transferring my points to QR and booking the flight there, or should I skip a step and just book the flight on BA's website?
Cancellation policy might be different between the two airlines. Also boook direct with the operating airline as often as you can so if anything goes wrong then you can contact the operating airline directly
Hi Max is there a way for me to find 4 seats on a qatar flight business class from the US to Doha? All I see are max 2 seats. I am even happy to book a non saver award but more than 2 seats i cant find
Let's say I have booked an american airlines flight from Frankfurt to DFW via British airways, paid in cash for economy. Can I use avios to upgrade despite the flight being operated by American Airlines although it was booked through British Airways ? Would much appreciate if I could get your thoughts about that Max or anyone else. Thanks
Probably not. Flight is operated by AA and usually the operating airline determines how you can upgrade and they likely won’t accept Avios as an option
I don't think transferring / linking will extend the life of the Avios. You can either transfer 1,000 points to British Airways or maybe link Uber to your account and take a quick uber ride somewhere
@@michaelshui88 i take that back they require you to take the uber ride in the UK (www.uber.com/gb/en/u/avios/). you can use the British airways shopping portal and buy something to earn a few British Airways avios to keep your avios from expiring
Day 1 -Max bro please make a video on air india and indigo airlines on how we can redeem miles like they indigo have code share partner with aa,qatar, etc and united, eva, ita have strategic partner with air india because for indians both airlines are best
@@MaxMilesPoints ok then what to do with indigo make a video Becuz indigo has partnered with aa,Qatar, virgin and and indigo has announced that they will launch their business class in a year And can we book air India through cash from air canada though I was searching and not able to see I'll apply your search method Thanks your videos are amazing fir every airline I am making notes in my notebook
@@rameshbasantani878indigo might have partnerships but if indigo doesn’t release award availability or open their award seats to the partner programs then theres no way to book as an award ticket which seems to be the case. So there’s your video in text format in one sentence ⬆️
@@MaxMilesPoints ok then when the award will be available pls make a video/do post Becuz at the end of the yr indigo will be launching business class so if you find anything then do post or shorts 😊😊
Fantastic I just spent 1 hour plus trying to find this on BA which you explained clearly and perfectly in just over 2 minutes a big big THANK YOU
Glad you found it helpful!
Always dropping gems... Thanks Max!

Another amazingly helpful video
Great video!
Thanks for sharing....I always learn a lot!! Can I move from BA to Qatar and then back to BA????
Yes

I tried looking for a flight from DFW to Chihuahua Mexico I get the result with BA to AA but no luck on Qatar to AA any suggestions?
So its possible to move points from iberia to cathay pacific? Or only the bigger airlines like qatar, BA?
no not possible. Iberia is Avios , Cathay Pacific is AsiaMiles :/
@@MaxMilesPoints ah thats sad. I have no way to transfer from chase to them to top up points.

@@MaxMilesPoints Thank you for your feedback. Will keep that in mind prior any reservations
Got excited and thought there might be a transfer bonus going on 😅
There is a transfer bonus going on! 30% transfer bonus from Amex to British Airways ends 9/30/24
@@MaxMilesPoints Oh nice I didn’t catch that, thanks man! I really hope Chase gets a transfer bonus to BA, most of my points are sitting there 🥲
Is there a central website portal to check how much avois points it will cost for each airline? (BA/Qatar/Finair....)
Seataero is a good tool
seats.aero/r/7wb3pfpn
Does the Qatar airways website work for reward flights for anyone? Keeps giving the page not found error.
It’s working for me, try the mobile app you can search Avios on there too
I have 1400 avios that about to expired if I do that transfer/link, will that extend my avios life?
I don't think transferring / linking will extend the life of the Avios. You can either transfer 1,000 points to British Airways or maybe link Uber to your account and take a quick uber ride somewhere
@@MaxMilesPoints Hi Max... thanks for the wonderful thread! Would you elaborate a little bit on how to earn avios through Uber ride please?
