In 2020 we said "The PointsBrotherhood has been in hibernation, pushing out one story a week and no emails for six months but we think that is about to change". How wrong we were.

Being a Qantas points millionaire was a badge of honour, now it shows personal failure to book any flights. My current tip is to get to Europe and then use them for domestic travel and flight positioning. Stockholm is coming back as starting point but that's a future story.

In the meantime Milton has an awesome round the world trip including lots of first class flights, finally burning those Alaska Mileage Plan miles earned pre-pandemic off the legendary Cathay mistake fare of 2019.
