This guide was written for you if…
- You have points sitting in one or more programs but aren’t sure what they can actually do
- You want to fly Business Class but don’t know if it’s realistic with what you have
- You’ve read conflicting advice online and feel more confused than when you started
- You’re worried about transferring points to the wrong program and losing them permanently
- You’re planning a long-haul trip in the next 12–24 months and want a strategy, not just a guess
- You prefer to understand the system yourself before working with an advisor
This is not a generic overview you could find on any blog. It is the foundational framework used with every Le Travelogist client — compressed into a clear, structured guide you can read in one sitting and refer back to every time you plan a trip.
What’s Inside
Five modules. One clear framework.
Each module builds on the last — from understanding the system, to valuing your points, to finding real award seats on your actual route.
Most travelers approach points travel backwards — starting with an airline rather than a strategy. This module explains how the system is actually structured: airlines, loyalty programs, alliances, and partner bookings.
Covers: airline loyalty programs · alliances · partner booking · how to think about availabilityNot all points are equal — knowing where yours live and how they move separates a good redemption from a costly mistake. Includes the Golden Rule that prevents the most common and irreversible error in award travel.
Covers: program types · transfer partners · when to transfer · the Golden Rule · Aeroplan, Avios, Flying BlueA step-by-step CPP (cents per point) calculation using a real client example — so you can calculate whether your own redemption is genuinely worth it before spending a single point.
Covers: cents per point · poor vs high value redemptions · Economy vs Business Class · cash vs points decisionFinding award seats is the practical skill most guides skip. This module introduces Seat.aero and Roame — tools that show real availability across multiple programs simultaneously — and walks you through searching your actual target route.
Covers: the 4-step system · timing windows · Seat.aero · reading availability · Saver vs Standard spaceThe five mistakes that cost travelers more than just points — and how to avoid every one. Closes with a 15-point completion checklist and a clear next-step selector based on where you are in your journey.

Who Wrote This
Written by Andre Battah — Le Travelogist.
Bangkok, Thailand
letravelogist.com
I’m the founder of Le Travelogist — a flight loyalty education and advisory service based in Bangkok, Thailand. I’ve spent years helping travelers across North America, Europe, and Australia understand airline ecosystems and make confident redemption decisions.
The framework in this guide is the same one I use with every client — whether they are planning their first Business Class redemption or managing a complex multi-city itinerary. I wrote it because the foundational knowledge is genuinely valuable regardless of how many points you have or where you are in the process.
If after completing the guide you want personalised guidance on your specific situation, I am here for that too.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. The guide assumes no prior knowledge. It starts from first principles and builds from there. If you already have a working understanding of the basics, sections 3 and 4 — the valuation framework and the live Seat.aero task — are practical regardless of experience level.
Which loyalty programs does it cover?
The framework applies to all major programs — Aeroplan, Avios, Flying Blue, United MileagePlus, Alaska Mileage Plan, American AAdvantage, KrisFlyer, Asia Miles, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, and more. Star Alliance, Oneworld, and SkyTeam. The concepts are transferable across any program you hold.
I’m not sure I have enough points. Is this still useful?
Yes — that is exactly what Module 3 addresses. It walks through what Business Class realistically costs in points across common routes, with a worked example and a calculator. Many people discover they are closer than they thought.
What format is the guide delivered in?
Two PDFs delivered directly to your inbox within minutes of purchase — the main guide and the companion worksheets. Both are yours to keep, print, and refer back to at any time.
