How the Points Flight
Concierge Works
If you want the simple version first, ask our AI chat before you read the full process.
Tell us where you want to go. The Flights Club searches the loyalty programs you already hold — up to 12 airline partners depending on whether you're flying on Qantas, Velocity, Amex Membership Rewards, or Pay.com.au PayRewards. Your points stay in your account until you authorise the booking.
The Flights Club Booking Fee Structure
Flat fee per seat. Same whether your Business Class seat would have cost $5,000 or $15,000 in cash. No commissions. No surprises.
China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand

Member discounts apply for additional bookings beyond included allocations: Explore members receive 10% off. Platinum and Black members receive 30% off. All fees are per seat, per booking direction. Airline taxes are paid separately and vary by program and routing.
From request to boarding pass
Five steps. No phone calls — async email coordination only. Just Business Class.
Our ethos is delivering value. You won't be charged if we don't find the right flights that meet your criteria.
Submit your booking request
Fill in the Concierge booking form: dates, destinations, passenger count, how flexible you are, and your points balance for each program.
You don't need to know which program is best — that's our job.
We search the programs that match your points
If you hold Qantas we search Qantas and Oneworld partners. If you hold Velocity we search Velocity and its partners. If you hold Amex or Pay.com.au PayRewards we unlock up to 12 airline transfer partners — see the full ratios below.
We look for the best combination of points cost, airline, routing and availability for your dates.
We present your options
Within 2–5 business days we send you the best available options — showing airline, routing, points required, airline taxes, and our booking fee per seat.
We keep searching and refining. Let us know if your needs change.
Confirm quickly — award seats can disappear within hours.
Confirm & transfer points
You authorise the booking. We then coordinate the points transfer and pay the airline taxes so the ticket can issue.
Our booking fee is invoiced after the seat is confirmed. No find, no fee.
We book & confirm your seat
We complete the booking and send you the confirmed itinerary, airline PNR, and seat confirmation. From there you manage seats and meals directly with the airline — your name is on the booking.
Your points decide the search universe
If you hold Qantas Points, we search Qantas and its Oneworld partners. If you hold Velocity, we search Velocity and its partners.
If you have Amex Membership Rewards or Pay.com.au PayRewards, you unlock multiple airline transfer partners. The table below shows transfer ratios for each.

What the Concierge is — and isn't
Business & First Class Only
The Points Flight Concierge books Business Class and First Class seats only. We do not book economy, premium economy, or upgrades on existing cash tickets.
Award Availability is Dynamic
Business Class award seats are limited and controlled by the airlines. The Flights Club cannot guarantee specific airlines, programs, or travel dates. We find the best available option — but availability depends on what the airlines release.
You Must Have the Points
The Flights Club searches and books using your existing points balance. We do not purchase, lend, or transfer points on your behalf. You need to have sufficient points in the relevant program before we can complete the booking.
Online Requests Only
All booking requests must be submitted via the online form. The Flights Club does not take phone enquiries for concierge bookings. This ensures every request is processed accurately and nothing is missed.
Taxes Paid Separately
Airline taxes and carrier surcharges are paid directly to the airline — they are separate from the The Flights Club booking fee. Tax amounts vary significantly by program and routing, and are shown clearly when we present your options.
No Find, No Fee
The Flights Club only charges the booking fee when a seat is confirmed. If we cannot find suitable availability within your dates and points balance, you pay nothing. There is no search fee or consultation charge.
Concierge FAQ
