Airmiles for flights - Part III

This is the third in an ongoing series of: spending your airmiles for flights, the fees involved in airmiles flights and tips and tricks to flying. Part 1 can be found here, Part 2 can be found here.

Today i'll concentrate on some tips if you are booking an airmiles reward flight.

  1. Flights are non-exchangeable and non-refundable
  2. Book early (as I keep repeating). This is the best way to ensure you get the desired flight
  3. Travel insurance will only cover what the terms and conditions state. Be very very careful about this and read the fine print!
  4. Have a GOLD Mosaik Credit Card. The most you'll pay for a continental north america flight is 1600 airmiles.
  5. Fly long distances. This is only true if you adhere to number 4 and sounds kinda funny. Basically the idea is, the further you fly the more the normal cost of a flight. If you're getting the flight free then you might as well get the most bang for your buck.

Remember to always book early as you don't want to be disappointed. If anyone else has had experience with this please leave a comment. Myself and my readers would love to hear from you.

A little problem, you keep refering to the GOLD mosaik credit card 1600 airmile limit. That offer has been turfed and has since been replaced with 20% off your flight… and that can’t be combined with any other offers.
