Are you ready to Fly Business Class for less?

Your everyday business spend could be the key to flying Business Class for a fraction of the cost. With pay.com.au, Air Canada’s Aeroplan program, and a smart points strategy, you can turn regular expenses into premium travel.

A Business Class seat from Melbourne to London often costs thousands, and we found a bunch of seats for $6469. Expensive? Yes. But that’s where Points come in. The best value option is to book it using Points and pay less. By spending just $2,108 in processing fees and taxes, you’d have enough points to cover the flight, and save $4,360*

Did you know? Reward Seats let you book flights with points instead of cash—and pay.com.au is one of the easiest ways to earn Aeroplan Points in Australia. Here’s how to make it happen.

Step 1: Earn Points through your business spend

The more you spend on your business expenses, the more points you earn. For example, if your business spends $24,000 per month ($288,000 per year), you could earn 576,000 PayRewards Points with Pay.com.au (that’s 2 points per $1 spent).

And to book an Air Canada Business Class seat, you’d need around 287,500 PayRewards Points—something you can earn just by running your business as usual.

📌 Hot tip: Not all business expenses can be paid with credit cards, but pay.com.au lets you earn points on transactions that normally wouldn’t.

Step 2: Convert & prepare for your booking

Once you’ve earned enough PayRewards Points, it’s time to transfer them to Air Canada’s Aeroplan—giving you access to high-value Reward Seats.

For this redemption, here’s what the out-of-pocket costs would be:

The pay.com.au processing Fees: $2,588 (after tax deduction: $1,941)
Taxes & Airline Fees: $168 (These are paid when booking your Reward Seat through the airine)

Step 3: Book your Reward Seat

Finding the right Reward Seat takes timing and flexibility—but that’s where we can help.

Our PayTravel team are experts at sourcing Business and First Class availability, ensuring you get the best value for your points. If you’re struggling to find a seat, they can help navigate alternative routes and hidden opportunities.

If you want to book Reward Seats yourself, the team at Point Hacks offers easy-to-digest guides and resources for everything related to Frequent Flyer Points and more!

📌 Hot tip: Reward Seats sell out fast, especially in premium cabins. Have your points ready and be flexible with dates to unlock the best deals. Visit this article for more tips

Why pay full price when you don’t have to?

Instead of spending thousands in cash, use your everyday business expenses to earn points and travel in style.
