Demystifying Airline Alliances with Chris Hassan | Ep 139

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)

Hey there, points people! Today, I’m talking with Chris Hassan of (@chrisdhassan), a Family travel writer from Upgraded Points (@upgradedpoints), about using airline partnerships to get the best points deals on flights. We dive deep into using Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, and Turkish Airlines miles to book domestic flights in the US and international business class on various airlines.

Chris worked in hotels and the hospitality industry for years before switching to the other side of the front desk and sharing travel tips and tricks. He is from Boston but now lives in Rio de Janeiro with his wife and 2 kids, so traveling back and forth between Brazil and the U.S. with his family is a common commute for him and his family. Besides visiting family, Chris makes sure that showing his kids new parts of the world is part of their education and uses points and miles to get them there. His kids have been on hundreds of flights including economy, business, and international first class and he is a firm believer that kids belong up front!

The best way to get access to a variety of airline miles is to use a card that earns transferable points. One option is the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, which transfers to all of the airlines I just mentioned!

If you're thinking of applying for the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card or any other card, don't apply directly through Google – use a friend's referral link! And if you need help figuring out which card is right for you, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards for free credit card consultations.
