Jess
Welcome to another exciting episode of Points Talk with the Travel Mom Squad, where today, we’re diving into the world of luxury flights. We’re sharing our most unforgettable first and business class flights. Join us—Pam, Jess, and Alex, as we turn left upon boarding, stepping into the realm of spacious lie-flat seats, gourmet dining, and exceptional service, all made possible through the savvy use of points and miles.
Why Luxury Flights?
Flying first and business class offers more than just comfort; it’s about the entire experience. From exclusive lounge access to onboard amenities like pajamas, amenity kits, and even showers in the sky, luxury travel transforms your journey into a part of the vacation itself.
Throughout the episode, we share not just our experiences but also the lessons learned, like the importance of choosing the right flights to maximize awake time to enjoy the amenities, and tips for booking these luxurious experiences using points and miles.
We also delve into the lighter side of luxury travel, from our collection of airline pajamas to debating the best in-flight ice cream sundaes. It’s not just about the destinations but the joy and comfort we experience getting there.
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler in the points game or just starting out, this episode is packed with inspiration, tips, and a few laughs to guide you toward your next luxury travel experience.

Yay, this was the podcast I requested!!! I appreciate all that you included but I wish you would have touched on which ones were not worth it or you wouldn’t fly again. Looking forward to my first turkish business class flight this summer
I don’t think there on any we wouldn’t fly again because business is just so much better than economy. I’d say the worst one I’ve flown was Ethiopian. However, if that was the cheapest redemption to Africa, I’d do it again!
