โ๏ธ๐จ๐ฆ Flight Deals from $102 + Amex Points Just Got Better!
Hey Travellers! โ๏ธ
Happy New Year! Hope 2026 is already off to a great start and that youโre finding time to think about where this year might take you, from a simple weekend getaway to a big international adventure.
Weโre kicking things off with a major points update youโll want on your radar. As of January 3, 2026, American Express Membership Rewards now transfer to Flying Blue at a 1:1 ratio, up from 1:0.75. Thatโs a big boost in value and makes international redemptions, including Europe and beyond, significantly more attractive.
If youโre collecting Amex points and wondering how to make them stretch further in 2026, this change is a game-changer. I break down exactly what it means and how to use it in the video below.
And thenโฆ the flight deals this week are seriously stacked ๐ฅ
Think Canada from $102, Europe from $500, Asia from $621โฆ and plenty more solid deals in between.
As always, prices and availability can change quickly. If something catches your eye, itโs worth jumping on it sooner rather than later. Letโs get into this weekโs best fares!
