We’re pleased to announce the launch of a brand-new podcast, Travel Pointers! Hosted Chris Chamberlin from Point Hacks and Matt Graham from Australian Frequent Flyer, you can look forward to a new episode every month.

Travel Pointers takes the most popular themes of Point Hacks‘ original podcast, Points of View, and gels them with the best of AFF on Air, the Australian Frequent Flyer podcast. In every episode, we’ll discuss the latest news, share travel tips and stories, and help you get the most value from your hard-earned points.

In the first episode, we chat about Qantas’ new Paris flights and Qantas Club Flexible subscription option. We also touch on Rex’s entry into voluntary administration and a new visa-free entry process for China.

Beyond the news, learn more about booking a Oneworld Classic Flight Reward with some handy tips and tricks. In other words, this explains how to fly round-the-world using your Qantas Points. Matt and I also discuss a recent trip we took together to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and why Central Asia should be on your travel bucket list.

Between us, we’ve flown around 2.5 million miles (and counting!) on airlines all over the globe, so we’ll have plenty more to share with you about adventures near and far. From time to time, we’ll also be joined by various guests from the travel industry for more robust discussion.

Chris is Point Hacks‘ News Editor, based at the company’s Melbourne office. With over a decade of experience in travel publishing, Chris’ stories have appeared far and wide in print and online. He’s a regular speaker at events, conferences and on live radio, particularly within the realm of frequent flyer points. Measured end-on-end, his travels are equivalent to taking three return trips to the moon! When he’s not jetting about, Chris enjoys keeping fit and discovering new gins.

Matt has been the editor of Australian Frequent Flyer for the last 10 years. A true globetrotter, he loves nothing more than discovering new destinations, learning about other cultures and trying the local food wherever he goes – although he’s always partial to a meat pie when returning to Australia! Of course, as one of Australia’s leading frequent flyer point experts he also uses points to get where he’s going in style.
