Couple Uses Points for Rs 17,000 Europe-Delhi Business Flight
Prakriti and Ashish wanted to fly in business class from Europe to Delhi.
Normally, the two tickets would have cost more than Rs 4 lakh.
Instead, they used points collected from credit card spending.
They transferred 100,000 Axis points into Air Canada Aeroplan.
This gave them enough points to book two award seats.
They found the seats only five days before flying.
They paid about Rs 17,000 for taxes and fees, not for the full tickets.
The flights included comfortable seats, meals, drinks and bedding.
They said the trip was worth using their points for.
Travel creators Prakriti Arora and Ashish booked two business-class award seats five days before departure.
They used 80,000 Air Canada Aeroplan points and paid about Rs 17,000 in taxes.
The points came from transferring 100,000 Axis points accumulated through major household and travel spending.
Comparable business-class tickets for the same date reportedly cost more than Rs 4 lakh for two.
Their journey included flights from Krakow to Warsaw and Warsaw to Delhi, with business-class meals and bedding.
