In this Posh on a Penny episode, I’ll be sharing my experience flying from Nashville to Brisbane, Australia in business class for just $41!

I’ll break down how I redeemed points, the perks I enjoyed along the way, and the tips I used to make my 30-hour journey stress-free. From my layovers in Houston and Sydney to the lounges I visited and the incredible in-flight service I received, I’ll give you the inside scoop on how to fly in style without breaking the bank. If you’ve ever wondered how to make those long-haul flights more comfortable—or how to score a luxurious experience for less—this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

Whether you're curious about flight redemption strategies, love hearing about top-notch lounge experiences, or want to avoid baggage and layover hiccups, this episode has something for you. Tune in to learn how I turned a long journey into a smooth and enjoyable adventure, and how you can do it too.
