At Black, the counting stops. We look after your household's Business Class travel for the year — no seat allowance to track, no changes to ration. A confirmed seat locked in early, changed freely when plans move, so your trip is certain even when they do.
Your Business Class travel is included in the membership — found and booked with your points by a dedicated senior flight concierge expert, someone with the depth and experience to go further, search harder, and find options that a standard search will miss. It's matched to your points capacity and how you actually travel, not a quota.
But the seats were never really the point. Black is about arriving well — at the meeting that matters, the milestone you won't get back, the dinner table where everyone made it. Your business already pays for it; we route it to the front of the plane, for you and the people you travel with.
Turn your business spend
into Business Class.
At $5M+ a year, your business moves serious money — cards, bills, payroll, BAS, suppliers. Black turns that spend into a points engine built for Business Class, at the volume a household travelling at scale actually needs.
We find which of your business payments can earn points — cards, bills, payroll, BAS, suppliers — and which are quietly earning nothing.
We structure the right cards and programs so your spend earns points at full velocity — for co-founders and key people too, not just one account.
Those points fund your household's Business Class travel for the year — found and booked for you, at a fraction of the cash fare.
Book the flight first.
Earn the points back.
Reward seats vanish fast — but earning enough points to book one can take a year of business spend. FlightMax First closes that gap: we advance the points you need to secure the Business Class seat now, and you earn them back over time.
Secure the Business Class reward seat while it's available — you don't need the points in hand.
FlightMax First fronts the points the booking needs, so the seat is confirmed with your name on it.
Your business spend earns the points back over time, on the strategy we build with you.
FlightMax First advances the points, not a specific seat — reward-seat availability still applies and we never promise a specific outcome. Eligibility applies and it's available on certain points types; we'll guide you on what works for your programs. Advance terms apply.
On points, a Sydney–Europe Business Class seat can cost a fraction of the $12,000+ cash fare.

Your Household
Flight Plan.
Once a year, we sit down with you and map the travel year ahead — not just the business trips, but your household’s whole year.
The anniversary.
The milestone birthday.
The trip the family keeps postponing.
The business travel that has to work around all of it.
Then we route the spend, points and booking strategy so the year flies properly.
Black is right for you if…
Black is selective. Before we accept a member, we confirm their points engine is capable of supporting their household's Business Class travel across the year. This is not an outcome we promise — it is an essential input. If your business is not yet generating enough points, we will tell you and show you the path to get there.
-
Your business spends $5M+ annually on expenses that could be generating points — and you want every dollar working at maximum efficiency.
-
You travel Business Class frequently across the year — and you want every trip found and booked for you by our flight concierge team, without counting an allowance.
-
You want flexibility built in — a free change or cancellation on every booking, and a confirmed seat secured early so the trip is certain.
-
You want the full picture — strategy, bookings, Travel & Experiences, and a community of business owners at your level.
A note on the points requirement: To join Black, we confirm your business is generating — or has the capacity to generate — enough points to support your household's Business Class travel across the year. This is not a guarantee of outcomes. It is a qualification step that protects your investment. If your points engine is not yet there, we will tell you honestly and show you the path to get there — which may mean starting with Platinum first.

“Black is for owners who travel at scale. We simply look after the travel — no seat-counting — with a senior expert finding and booking each one, and an annual strategy session with me to set the year up. That is what Black is.”
Limited to 200 members nationally — kept deliberately small, so the planning stays personal.
Alongside Steve Hui on strategy, Co-Founder Steve Pirie-Nally — 20+ years crafting curated travel experiences and community — leads your Travel & Experiences and the member community.
Beyond the seat.
Black membership includes first access and member pricing on the full Flights Club Travel & Experiences calendar — curated journeys, closed-group packages, and events you won't find advertised, sourced across both points and cash for the best available value.
These are not publicly available. Members see the calendar first.
It’s led by Co-Founder Steve Pirie-Nally, who brings 20+ years crafting curated travel experiences and community across seven continents.
Known across Australia as The Points Whisperer, Steve Hui is a CPA who spent 11 years at Macquarie Bank before turning points into a discipline. Since 2012 he has helped 6,000+ businesses book over 1 billion points, with 200+ media appearances across 9News, Sky News and The Australian. He sees points the way an accountant sees a balance sheet — and at Black, you have his direct attention.
“The fundamental thing of business, I believe, is do more with less.”
A third-generation aviator with 20+ years designing transformational travel — Antarctic expeditions with Peter Hillary, Formula 1 weekends, and global events. Steve delivers the destination: the experiences, and the room of operators who make where you land — and who you land with — mean something. He designs the membership experience: chapter dinners, curated trips, and the introductions that actually land. He co-hosts the Always Business Class podcast.
“A flight gets you somewhere. The room is what makes the trip mean something. My job is to make sure every member finds both.”
A private room.
Owners who get it, at the same table. Platinum and Black members share a private community — separate from Explore — where the conversation is equal parts business and the life it's meant to buy. Dinners where the person beside you understands the year you've had. Trips your family still talks about. It's the human side of the membership: not a feature list, but a room worth being in.
“The measure of Black is simple: you shouldn’t have to think about the seat. You tell us where the business needs you, and it’s found, booked on your points, and changed without fuss when the plan shifts. When it’s working, it’s quiet — you just arrive, at the front of the plane, ready for whatever you came for.”
Before you decide
Do you buy the flights for us?+
No — and that's the point. Your membership covers our strategy and booking service. We find Business Class reward seats and book them using your points; you pay the points and the airline taxes and carrier charges, which is why the seats cost a fraction of the retail fare. We never sell or supply airline tickets.
Can I change or cancel a booking?+
Freely, when plans move — there's no allowance to count. A changed or cancelled flight returns to you, rather than being used up.
What if I travel less one year?+
Then you travel less — there's no allowance to use up or forfeit. Black is managed around your actual travel, not a quota, so nothing is wasted.
What's the points requirement to join?+
We confirm your business is generating — or has the capacity to generate — enough points to support your household's Business Class travel across the year. If your points engine isn't there yet, we'll tell you honestly and show you the path — which may mean starting with Platinum first.
With no seat count, is there any limit?+
Black is managed on a fair-use basis. There's no seat count to track, but the membership is designed around your own household and business travel — matched to your points capacity and how you genuinely travel across the year. It's generous and relationship-led, not an unlimited allowance, and it isn't a service for reselling or booking on behalf of unrelated parties. We agree the shape of a normal year with you up front, and if a pattern of use falls well outside it, we'll simply have a conversation. In practice, members find there's more flexibility here than they'll ever need.
What if you can't find a seat on my route?+
Reward-seat availability depends on route, timing, and flexibility. Your senior flight concierge expert searches across up to 12 airline partners, and we prefer 3 to 6 months of lead time for international trips. We'll always tell you honestly if a request looks unlikely — we never promise specific seat outcomes. And if a reward seat isn't available, our Flights Club Travel Agency can find you the sharpest cash price, so the trip still happens.
Ready to find out if Black is right for you?
A Discovery Call is a 25-minute conversation with our team. We look at your points position, your travel volume, and your business spend — and tell you honestly whether Black is the right fit, or whether Platinum is the better starting point.
Fly well — in business and in life.
