After the sold-out Frequent Flyer MasterClass in June 2026, it’s back again – and you’re invited to join! Apart from all-new content on maximising your points strategies (both earning and redeeming, including a focus on non-Australian options), you’ll also be able to network with fellow like-minded travel enthusiasts.
This in-person event will take place in Brisbane on Saturday, 28 November 2026, and will cover a broad range of relevant topics. Some sessions will also have different streams to cater for varying interests and knowledge levels.
Score $80 off tickets with the code EARLYBIRDBNE, bringing the price down to $219. This offer expires 31 July 2026.
Regular tickets cost A$299 for the full day. Australian Frequent Flyer Platinum members have access to a special members-only price of A$179.

I will be presenting again, covering the best ways to maximise points-earning strategies post-RBA changes. After lunch, one of the secondary sessions is on maximising Virgin Australia Velocity and Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer for beginners – both programs I use a lot.
The former editor of Australian Frequent Flyer, Matt Graham, will present one session on thinking about your frequent flyer goals and whether changing your strategies could help you meet them faster.
Silvia Violante, who helps run Concierge, will focus her expertise on some of the useful overseas airline programs, where there are interesting points opportunities.
Alan Lam – a highly experienced travel agent – will discuss the complex world of Avios and Oman Air airfares for more affordable luxury travel (in separate sessions).
Finally, Jason Cooper – who founded Gyoza Flights, which is behind Qantas’ free Reward Flight Finder – will run a session on the best ways to make the tool work for you.
More details about the AFF MasterClass
This event will take place at InterContinental Brisbane from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, 28 November 2026. Feel free to join us at 9:30am for tea & coffee, before the first session officially starts at 10am.
In addition to a variety of educational sessions, the day will include meal breaks, a catered lunch by the hotel’s restaurant, afternoon tea, a panel discussion and networking opportunities.
On Saturday evening, you’ll also have the option to join the AFF community dinner (destination TBA). This dinner is optional and not part of the official MasterClass.
Tickets are refundable up to 13 November 2026. After that, they are strictly non-refundable because AFF needs to confirm the numbers with the hotel. However, you can still transfer your ticket to someone else – just let us know. Also, inform AFF of any dietary requirements when booking.
We hope to see some of the Point Hacks community there on the day!
