QATAR AIRWAYS X VIRGIN AUSTRALIA: TAPPING INTO OPPORTUNITIES: POINTS, UPGRADES, AND MORE

When it comes to frequent flyer points, having choices matters, and with Virgin Australia’s new services, there are even more options for you to amass and utilise those hard-earned points. Here are the standout perks:
EARNING AND REDEEMING VELOCITY POINTS
Boost Your Balance: Earn Velocity Points by flying these routes as they are officially Virgin Australia flights, which means your family holiday just got a bit closer.
Booking with Points Made Easier: Redeem Velocity Points for a one-way Business Class ticket from the east coast for 119,500 points, or 89,500 from Perth. Economy class seats are available for 56,000 and 42,000 points respectively.
💡 Remember, taxes, fees, and charges apply based on your route and choice of class.
LANDING UPGRADES
💡 Beginning 1 July 2025, reward your travel with upgrade opportunities on these new services using your Velocity Points – a first when it comes to Qatar-operated flights. Simply get in touch with Virgin Australia's call centre to explore seat availability and upgrade options.
THE IMPACT ON AUSTRALIAN TRAVELLERS
This partnership represents more than just a new route—it's about enhancing choice and accessibility for Australians far and wide. With new daily services, Virgin Australia is empowering more passengers to embark on journeys that align conveniently with personal schedules, thereby swelling the holistic reach of travel from Aussie shores.
OPENING THE WORLD
Having another daily flight choice means you could find the perfect departure time that reduces layovers or opens up unconventional routes. Choose what fits best for your plans, not what already exists—a transformative choice for those eager to optimise travel time.
INCREASED COMPETITION = BETTER DEALS
Competition heats up, and the cost of flying frequently dips. The aviation market responds dynamically to shifts in competitive pressure, meaning good news for airfare prices. Both in terms of filling seats and offering enticing pricing models, these new flights stand to benefit diligent point hunters always scouting the latest deals.
POINT HACKS ADVANTAGE: HARNESS THE FLIGHTS
Given the new services enriching Australia's aviation tapestry, now's never been a better time to consult Point Hacks' powerful tools, deals, and strategies to supercharge your point-collecting journey.

Enjoying the World on a Dime!
Hello to all my fellow veteran travelers, those who are planning their first journey, and everyone in between! If you are anything like me, even the idea of planning a trip is enough to light a fire in your soul!
However, many of us are burdened by our student loans, rent, mortgage, and other bills which have been preventing us from clicking that beautiful blue "book now" button. This series of blogs aims to help those adventurous souls plan their trip for as cheap as possible! With some creative hacks and strategic forethought, you too can enjoy the world on a dime!

Let's talk about the most important piece of traveling, getting from Point A to Point B. Luckly, there are many tips that make it more cost-friendly!
Tip for Traveling by Airplane, Train, Bike, Car, Bus, or Boat!
Being Flexible with Dates: Being able to move dates to the left and right is a great way to save a lot of money. A rule of thumb is that flying on the weekdays or during off-peak times can really help keep the price low.
Comparing Multiple Sources: There are many platforms that will help aid you in comparing prices, such as Expedia.com, so you can get the cheapest deals.
Book in Advance: Generally, booking a flight weeks to months in advance can help you secure some of the cheapest prices.
Using Incognito Mode: Something that many people don't know is that some airlines may increase prices based on search history. To avoid these dynamic changes, make sure you are using a hidden browser and not accepting cookies.
Round Trip/ One-Way: I always check round trip first, then try to plan my trip individually. For instance, I did this for my trip to Brazil. Round trip was going to cost me about $1,100. After booking each flight individually as one-ways, I spent a total of $894.
Purchase a Railcard/ MetroCard: If you are in a country where trains or metros are a common transportation method, consider get a card that will give you discounts on all your rides like UK's 16-25 Railcard or Spain's T-Casual metro pass. This can help you not only get around the city but also travel between cities for cheap!
Check for Group Discounts: Some providers will offer a discount if traveling with a group which could significantly reduce the cost!
Watch out for Extra Fees: Be cautions of extra fees such as seat selection or other hidden costs that may increase the price. Some sites are set up to make you think that you have to purchase these "add-ons" off first glance.
Public Transit: Don't underestimate the effectiveness of using buses, trams, and subways. Most places have great transit services that are fast and cheap. Finding a day pass can save you even more!
Bike Rentals: If you are in a bike-friendly city, one of the best ways to explore at your own pace is by renting a bike.
There you have it, there are some tips for planning the transportation for your next big adventure! If you learned something new or have other considerations for saving, please leave a comment below! If you'd like to learn more about cost effective living arrangements while traveling, make sure you check out my other blogs. Follow me so you never miss another chance to save!
Stay curious, stay inspired, and safe travels! 🌍✈️💸

Book Flights Online with Ease at Travarc.in
Introduction: The Smart Traveler’s Secret Weapon
In a world where airfare prices fluctuate by the minute and budget travel is becoming a necessity, finding the best international flight deals can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. But what if you had a tool that made finding cheap international flights simple, smart, and stress-free? That’s exactly what Travarc.com offers—an intuitive platform dedicated to comparing flight deals, aggregating airline offers, and guiding travelers to book the cheapest international flight tickets from India.
This comprehensive guide will show you how to score big on international flights using Travarc, explore the best practices to find low-cost airfares, and unlock travel hacks used by frequent flyers—all while staying within budget.
Chapter 1: Why Travarc? A Game-Changer in International Flight Booking
Travarc is not just another travel website. It is a flight search engine and comparison tool designed specifically for Indian travelers. It consolidates airfare offers from multiple airlines, online travel agencies (OTAs), and booking platforms in one place, enabling users to view, compare, and book the best flight tickets available.
Key Features of Travarc:
Real-time price comparison across major OTAs and airline websites
Exclusive deals on international routes from India
Flexible search filters to find flights by stopovers, duration, airline, and time
Fare alerts and notifications for price drops
Trusted booking partners with verified reviews
Travarc eliminates the need to open ten tabs and compare manually. Whether you're flying to the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE, or Southeast Asia, the platform guarantees that you won’t miss out on a better deal elsewhere.
Chapter 2: Timing is Everything – When to Book International Flights
Booking your flight at the right time can be the difference between a steal and a splurge. Here are some industry-backed timing tips:
✅ Best Time to Book:
2 to 5 months in advance for international trips
Mid-week days (Tuesday to Thursday) often have lower fares
Early mornings or late nights tend to have cheaper flights
✅ Avoid Peak Travel Seasons:
Summer holidays (May–July)
Christmas and New Year (December)
Festive season in India (Diwali, Navratri)
Travarc helps you spot trends in price changes and gives you access to tools that show the cheapest month and day to fly, thanks to its dynamic calendar view.
Chapter 3: Secrets to Scoring the Best Travel Deals on Travarc
Here are the top methods to secure unbeatable international flight deals:
1. Use the Fare Comparison Tool
Start your journey by searching on www.travarc.com. Enter your departure city, destination, and travel dates. The smart search engine will fetch fares from multiple sources in seconds.
2. Book Round-Trip Instead of One-Way
Booking a round-trip is often cheaper than one-way flights. Travarc allows you to toggle between options and compare which gives you better value.
3. Try Flexible Dates
Use the “Flexible Dates” feature to see the lowest prices 3 days before and after your planned travel date. This helps save thousands on airfare.
4. Consider Nearby Airports
Instead of flying directly into a high-traffic airport, check if flying to a nearby city is cheaper. For example, flying into Newark instead of JFK can sometimes cut costs.
5. Subscribe for Alerts
Activate Fare Alerts on Travarc to get notified when fares drop for your selected routes. No more manually checking every day.
6. Compare with Budget Airlines
Travarc includes budget airline options that aren’t always listed on big platforms. Carriers like AirAsia, Scoot, and Indigo International often provide low-cost alternatives.
Chapter 4: Top International Routes from India – Hot Deals on Travarc
Travarc specializes in finding the best rates on popular international routes from India. Some top searches and best deals include:
🔹 India to USA:
New Delhi to New York (JFK/EWR)
Mumbai to Chicago
Chennai to San Francisco
🔹 India to UK:
Bengaluru to London Heathrow
Delhi to Manchester
🔹 India to Australia:
Mumbai to Sydney
Chennai to Melbourne
🔹 India to UAE:
Hyderabad to Dubai
Kochi to Abu Dhabi
With Travarc, you can compare flights operated by Emirates, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Air India, and dozens of others in real time.
Chapter 5: Exclusive Travarc Features That Make a Difference
🛫 Multi-Airline Mix and Match
Travarc’s engine suggests itineraries using two or more airlines to create the most affordable flight combo. For example, fly Air India to Dubai, then connect via FlyDubai to Europe.
🛫 Lowest Fare Calendar
The fare calendar visually shows you the cheapest days to fly in a month. Perfect for leisure travelers and students.
🛫 Top Deals Section
Travarc features a dedicated “Top Travel Deals” section where you can see discounted flight tickets, promo fares, and seasonal offers handpicked by travel experts.
🛫 Real-Time Currency Converter
All fares can be displayed in INR, USD, GBP, AED, and more—useful for Indian expats and international travelers booking from abroad.
Chapter 6: Hacks Frequent Flyers Use (That You Can Too!)
🔸 Clear Cookies or Use Incognito Mode
Flight prices may increase based on repeated searches. Use Incognito Mode to avoid dynamic pricing traps.
🔸 Use Points or Miles
While Travarc itself doesn’t handle rewards, its booking partners often allow the use of airline miles or credit card points.
🔸 Bundle Deals
Look for deals that combine flights + hotels to save even more. Travarc sometimes links with OTA bundles for international travel.
🔸 Red-Eye Flights & Long Layovers
If you're flexible, opt for red-eye flights or longer layovers—they’re often cheaper and let you explore an extra city.
Chapter 7: Real Stories – Travelers Who Saved Big
Ritika from Mumbai shared how she booked a flight to Canada during peak summer for ₹35,000 less using Travarc’s alert system. Arun, a student from Hyderabad, used the multi-airline combo tool to save 40% on his flight to the USA for fall semester.
These real-world examples showcase the power of using Travarc not just as a search tool, but as a travel planning companion.
Chapter 8: Why Travarc is Ideal for International Travelers from India
India’s international traveler base is growing rapidly—students, professionals, families, and tourists are constantly looking for better deals. Travarc serves this need by offering:
Localized results for Indian users
Partnerships with leading Indian and international airlines

Why You Need an Onward Ticket and How to Get One Quickly
Intro:
✈️ Planning a trip with flexible plans? Many countries require proof of an onward ticket for entry, especially if you’re traveling on a one-way ticket. Here’s why it’s essential and how you can get one without booking a pricey return flight!
What is an Onward Ticket?
An onward ticket is proof that you’ll be leaving the country you’re visiting. Some countries ask for this as part of their visa requirements to ensure travelers have plans to move on, even if it’s to another destination.
When Do You Need One?
If you’re a digital nomad, a spontaneous traveler, or anyone exploring new destinations without a set return date, you may need an onward ticket for immigration purposes. Some situations where this is required:
Visiting countries in Southeast Asia, South America, or Europe.
Entering on a tourist visa without a planned return flight.
Flying with budget airlines that sometimes ask for onward travel proof.
How to Get an Onward Ticket Without Buying a Return Flight?
That’s where onwardticket.com comes in! 🌍 Instead of purchasing a full-priced return ticket, you can get a temporary, legitimate onward ticket quickly and affordably.
Why Use returnflighttickets.com?
returnflighttickets.com provides:
Affordable Prices: Get a valid onward ticket without breaking the bank.
Quick Processing: Tickets are issued almost instantly, ideal for last-minute needs.
Legit Tickets: These are real tickets that meet immigration requirements and are valid for 24-48 hours.
How It Works
Visit returnflighttickets.com
Select Your Destination – Choose the destination where you need an onward ticket.
Receive Your Ticket via Email – Within minutes, you’ll receive a PDF of your onward ticket, ready to show at check-in or border control.

Virgin Australia Takes Flight with Qatar Airways – Maximise Your Points and Travel Game!

Exciting new routes. Unique point-earning opportunities. Unlock the world with just a few clicks.
There’s an undeniable thrill that accompanies the anticipation of a new journey – the hum of the airport, the gentle nudge towards your destination signposted by glittering departure boards. And now, for Australian travellers and avid points-collectors, that buzz just got more exciting! Virgin Australia's launch of flights to Doha in collaboration with Qatar Airways marks an exciting era of expanded connectivity, and the skies are shimmering with potential for savvy travellers. This is not just an increase in flight options; it's a new array of opportunities to make the most of your frequent flyer points and credit card rewards. This world is finally within reach, whether it's Business Class comfort on points or seamlessly connecting to alluring destinations beyond Qatar. Let's unpack how this can elevate your flight strategies to unprecedented heights.
VIRGIN AUSTRALIA SOARS HIGH WITH QATAR AIRWAYS
For a while now, Qatar Airways has had its own bustling presence flying from major Australian cities like Sydney, Brisbane and Perth to the vibrant heart of Doha. However, limitations on the number of flights they could operate meant a fresh approach was needed to meet the ever-growing demand. This is where Virgin Australia, in collaboration with Qatar Airways, steps in – and, thanks to the ingenious 'wet lease' agreement, more seats are now on offer. Unlike a codeshare where Qatar's flights retained their identity, this deal is a collaborative arrangement, thrusting Virgin into the spotlight while Qatar provides the aircraft and crew. It’s officially a Virgin Australia flight, so expect great Virgin service with the precision and luxurious touch of Qatar Airways.
💡 This means more schedule flexibility, more connection options worldwide, and most importantly, more chances to earn and redeem points for those dream escapades.

Are you tired of forgetting essential items every time you travel? Say goodbye to packing stress with our ultimate travel packing checklist! 🚀

Eating Well Without the Price Tag!

You’ve found your flight and flew, you ventured to your new temporary accommodation and dropped your bags, and now you’re hungry! Half the fun was getting here and now begins the other half… having a great time and enjoying the culture around you! Finding out where to eat should be the least stressful part of your trip! This blog aims to give you some tips on how to have the best food experience!
Street Food: One of the best ways to find quality street food in your area is by striking up a conversation with the locals! Normally they will be able to direct you to some of the best spots and maybe even send you in your merry way some hidden gems. If the language barrier is too strong, look for the venders that have the longest lines. This is usually a good sign of quality and popularity.
Cooking Classes: If you want something specific that the culture is known for, such as authentic pasta from Italy, and you want to learn how to make it consider booking a class. Many local community centers or small cooking schools will offer affordable classes where you can enjoy a new experience as well as taste some delicious food! Depending on where you are, just make sure that you book in advance to avoid missing out on a truly interactive experience. Lastly, if you want to save even more you can book a group class which will significantly cut down on the costs!
Grocery Stores: If you are staying at a place that offers a full range kitchen, consider going to the store and buying your own groceries! If there are local markets or well-known market chains such as Carrefour or Tesco, exploring the store can normally equip you with some unique ingredients that are such to enrich your travel menu. If you want to shop like a pro or if you have any allergies, make sure that you know some key words or phrases that may be on the labels.
Dining Deals: Find dining deals such as ones that can be found on Yelp. Many places offer happy hours, loyalty programs, or have events in place to allow patrons to fuel up without breaking the bank. Make sure to see if the place you are going offers such things!
Budgeting Meals: To end this, my last tip is to budget for each day. Look up local prices and try to stay reasonably around that. Take a picture, note the price, and share with others on #The-Lean-Traveler.
I guess it is time to put a fork in it because this blog post is done! Thank you for reading and if you learned something new or have other considerations for saving and planning, please leave a comment below! If you enjoy talking travel, make sure you check out my other blogs!
Stay curious, stay inspired, and safe travels! 🌍✈️💸
