Using points for family flights

Finder global CEO Frank Restuccia knows that points can make a real difference to the household budget. In mid-2023 he booked a family holiday for 4 people to the US, grabbing Economy flights entirely using points.
Rather than paying $15,000 in high season fares, he spent around 477,000 Qantas Points plus $1,500 in carrier charges. That's an effective value of around $27 for every 1,000 Qantas Points used.
"That holiday is a big expense for our family. I'd rather spend on other priorities and use points so we can still travel," Frank explains.
The keys here? Being a little flexible with dates, not just looking at Business flights, and not waiting until the last minute to make the booking.
