| Maximising Points on the Ground |
|
With many of us grounded and no current end date for the government-mandated travel restrictions, it's safe to say that most of us are not earning or burning points in the air right now. But there are still lots of opportunities to maximise your frequent flyer and loyalty points on the ground!
