London Calling 🇬🇧

From world-famous landmarks like Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge to the vibrant West End, bustling markets, and endless dining options, London is a destination that never disappoints. Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, there's always something new to discover in one of the world's most iconic cities.

Note:
Much of the premium availability to Europe is via the Middle East. If you would prefer to remove the Middle East options, simply go to the filter section or click on the airline logo in the calendar to remove all availability from that airline.

Additionally, First Class redemptions on Emirates are only available for Qantas Silver members and above. You can have an eligible family member who holds status with Qantas to book Emirates First Class on your behalf.

The killer for you is the number of seats. One seat is so much easier than two but I can only imagine how hard 4 must be!

Hi Jon, yes ... keep an eye on Point Hacks. You'll probably do better with Velocity Points so Singapore Airlines. Cyprus (my partner is from there!). So basically last year we went to London to see family - October is a great time as the summer is over but October is fantastic in Cyprus the weather is perfect! We went London to Adelaide for 74,000 one way two of us. There was availability. You could also fly to Singpore and catch a one way Emirates from Singapore to Athens for around $2000 one way per person. I usually fly to Singpore, then book Singapore to Europe return on Emirates, then fly Singapore to Australia separately home. That's what we are doing this year as we are going in August. Do you have a lot of Velocity points?

You’ll be fine then. Point hacks also have a service they’ll find it for you I think for a small fee 🙏

Try booking 2 lots of 2 seats. I had the same issue trying to book reward flights for four people, but when I broke it down to two bookings x two seats at a time, somehow it worked?! When I had four people in my search, NO low reward points seats showed up AT ALL, but as soon as I changed it to two, they magically appeared! Madness, I know, but worth a shot!

You've done it again. The subject line of this email alert was "Fly First Class to London". The email itself is headed, "London 58,900 - 299,300 Points, One Way". Once again, what route, operated and/or marketed by Qantas or Virgin to "London", from "Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide" is priced at 59K points in "First Class"?

Hi Losmano,

Thank you for your comments.

The email subject line highlights the highest cabin class available, so readers can quickly see that there is rare First Class availability in this week’s seat alert.

The points range you mentioned is included in the email and reflects the range across all available cabin classes. We’ve recently started showing availability across all cabins, and the points range is intended to give readers a quick overview of what may be required.

We apologise for any confusion and hope this helps clarify things.

Kind regards, The Point Hacks Team

I appreciate that may be your intention but it's not how I believe the average reader would see it.

I am a 12 year platinum member with Velocity and i have been unable to get a business class fare to Europe for under 1.2 million velocity points each way since covid... Very disappointing.

I've literally wasted about 3 h going back and forth to Virgin and I cannot find a single flight to London in business class that comes anywhere near the points figures mentioned. Even though flights are actually shown as available, I can select everything on Points Hacks, go to Virgin and nothing is there.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your comment.

We’re sorry to hear you’re having trouble with our calendar, and we hope you’re able to lock in your flights soon.

More often than not, Virgin will display its pricier codeshare options above reward seat flights, so you may need to scroll further down the results page to find the reward seats.

If you’re not clicking through directly from the booking link in the calendar and going to the Virgin website directly instead, we also recommend searching for both London Gatwick (LGW) and London Heathrow (LHR), as the Virgin website will only show availability for the specific airport entered in the search.

We hope this helps.

Kind regards, The Point Hacks Team
