A few things to know

📋

Online Only

This is a self-submit service. All requests are made via the booking form. We do not take phone enquiries for concierge bookings.

🎯

No Find, No Fee

You are only charged if we successfully find and book the flights you approve. If we can't find suitable seats, there is no charge.

✈️

Business & First Class Only

We specialise exclusively in Business and First Class award bookings. We do not book Economy or Premium Economy seats.

Five stages from
spend to seat

This is the system every The Flights Club member goes through. It's not a course. It's a managed, expert-led process that runs continuously for the life of your membership.

1
Assess

Your Points Blueprint

We map every dollar of your business spend and identify exactly which expenses can earn points, which can't, and what the optimal card and program structure looks like for your specific business. This is your personalised Points Blueprint — the foundation of everything that follows.

2
Structure

Card & Program Setup

We recommend the right credit card(s) and frequent flyer programs for your situation — based on your spend profile, not on any commercial arrangement. We are independent. We don't receive commissions from card issuers or airlines. The recommendation is always what's best for your points earning.

3
Accumulate

Maximise Every Dollar of Spend

This is where your business spend becomes points. We identify every eligible payment — supplier invoices, BAS, payroll, subscriptions — and recommend the right mechanism to earn points on each one. For many members, this includes points guides like pay.com.au, which route EFT payments through a credit card so you earn points on transactions that previously earned nothing.

On points guides

The Flights Club is payment-agnostic. We assess your business structure and recommend the best approach for your situation. Pay.com.au is a platform we often recommend — but it's one tool among several, and it's only recommended where it makes sense for your business. Platinum and Black members receive the pay.com.au Premium Tier fee waived ($1,980/year) as a membership benefit, where applicable.

4
Transfer

Move Points at the Right Moment

Transferring points at the wrong time is one of the most common and costly mistakes. We tell you exactly when to transfer, which program to transfer into, and how many points to move — based on the specific seats we're targeting for you. Transfers are irreversible; timing is everything.

5
Redeem

Business Class Seats, Booked for You

We search across 20+ airline partners simultaneously, find the best available award seats, and book them on your behalf — at the best possible redemption value for your points balance.

The booking process,
explained clearly.

Seven steps from request to boarding pass. Here's exactly what happens at each stage.

1
You

Submit Your Request

Fill in the booking form on the Concierge page. Share your travel preferences — destination, dates, number of passengers, flexibility, and which frequent flyer programs you hold points in (with approximate balances). This takes around 3 minutes.

2
Us

We Search Across 20+ Partners

Our team begins searching across all relevant airline partners and programs for Business or First Class award availability that matches your criteria. We look at one-way and return combinations, partner airline redemptions, and alternative routing options to find the best available seats your points can cover.

What we're looking at

Award availability on Qantas, Qatar, Singapore Airlines, Virgin Australia, ANA, United, Cathay Pacific, and 15+ more
Partner redemptions (e.g. Qantas points booked via American Airlines for greater availability)
One-way combinations that open up more options than a standard return search

Us

We Share Options As They Become Available

Award seat availability changes daily — sometimes hourly. As we find suitable options, we share them with you. Timing depends on route, dates, and current availability. Some bookings come together quickly; others require patience as seats open up. We keep searching until we find the right fit or you advise us otherwise.

Important: seats move fast

!Award seats can be booked or cancelled by anyone in the world at any time. If you find alternative flights or your plans change, update us immediately so we can adjust our search.

You + Us

Are the Options Suitable?

When we present options, you review them and let us know.

Two paths

Yes, these work — Let us know promptly. Award seats are not held; the sooner you confirm, the better your chances of securing them.
Not quite right — No problem. We continue searching and refining. Let us know what didn't work so we can adjust (different dates, different airline, different routing).

Us

We Book on Your Behalf

Once you approve the flights, we log into your frequent flyer account (with your permission) and complete the booking. We handle the entire process — points redemption, tax payment, and ticketing. You do not need to do anything at this stage.

What we need from you at this stage

Your frequent flyer login credentials (shared securely)
Confirmation that you are happy to proceed with the specific flights presented
6
You

Receive Your Itinerary Confirmation

Once booked, the airline sends your itinerary confirmation directly to you. From here, you can log into the airline's website to select your seats, choose meal preferences, and manage your booking as you normally would.

7
You

Pay the Invoice

You will receive an invoice for the ticket taxes (paid to the airline) and the iFLYflat service fee. Payment is due on booking. You can use your preferred credit card — we recommend using a card that earns points on the transaction.

Frequently asked questions

What are the booking fees?
The service fee is from $950/leg per Business or First Class seat. A return booking (two legs) starts from $1,300. First Class is charged at the same rate as Business Class. You are only charged if we successfully find and book the flights you approve — no find, no fee.
How long does it take to find a flight?
This varies depending on the route, dates, and current award availability. Some bookings come together quickly; others require more time as seats open up. Award availability changes daily and can be affected by many factors outside our control. We recommend being as flexible as possible with dates to improve the chances of finding suitable seats.
When is the best time to book?
Airlines typically release award seats up to 11–12 months in advance. Booking early generally gives you the widest choice of availability. That said, seats also drop back into availability closer to departure when other passengers cancel. We monitor both windows.
How many points do I need?
This depends entirely on your destination and the airline program you're redeeming with. As a guide, a return Business Class seat from Sydney to London typically requires around 540,000 Qantas or AMEX points (via Qatar Airways). A return to Perth requires around 142,000 Velocity points. Use the Points Audit calculator to check your balance and earning potential.
Can a points booking be cancelled or changed?
This depends on the airline's award booking rules. Most airlines allow cancellations and changes, though fees may apply and points may take time to be reinstated. We advise reviewing the specific airline's terms before confirming your booking. We do not manage post-booking changes or cancellations on your behalf.
What if you can only find one leg but not the other?
We will advise you of the situation. You can choose to proceed with the one-way leg we've found, wait for the return to become available, or explore alternative routing options. We will not book a partial itinerary without your explicit approval.
What is your booking success rate?
We have a strong track record of finding Business and First Class award seats for our clients. Success depends on factors including route popularity, date flexibility, points program, and how far in advance you request. The more flexible you are, the higher the likelihood of a successful booking.
Do you take phone enquiries?
No. The Points Flight Concierge is a self-submit, online service. All requests must be submitted via the booking form. This allows our team to manage all requests efficiently and ensures nothing is missed. If you have a general question before submitting, you can use the Contact page.
What is pay.com.au and do I need it?
Pay.com.au is a payment platform that routes your business expenses through a credit card so suppliers receive EFT — enabling you to earn points on payments that previously earned nothing. The Flights Club is payment-agnostic: we assess your business and recommend the best approach for your situation, which may or may not include pay.com.au. It's one tool among several. Platinum and Black members receive the pay.com.au Premium Tier fee waived ($1,980/year) as a membership benefit — where it's the right fit for their business.
I'm a Flights Club member. Is there a discount?
Yes. Explore members receive a 10% discount on all ad-hoc concierge bookings. Platinum and Black members have Business Class seats included as part of their annual membership — additional seats beyond the included allocation are available at the standard rate.

Submit your request.
We'll find the seats.
