Booking travel can be time-consuming, and it’s hard to know if you’re getting the right deal.
Isn’t it time someone found the right deal for you?
Tired of paying full price for business class? Or of the hours it takes to find the right fare? At J Flyer, we handle the entire booking process, start to finish, saving you time and money.
Who it’s for
- Frequent flyers.
- Business owners who travel often, or whose team does.
- Executive assistants who book flights for a team.
- Travellers who spend $25,000 or more a year.
- Anyone sitting on reward points and not getting their full value.
If that sounds like you, we should talk.
Why J Flyer
Not your typical travel agent.
A travel agent books the trip in front of them. We are retained for the year to run the whole account behind it: the cards and programs that earn the points, every decision that spends them, and the airline and hotel status that accrues along the way. The spend that produces those points is already happening; our role is to direct it, and the balances it creates, toward the front of the plane. To the owners, executives and frequent travellers we work with, we are the standing arrangement behind every flight, in place of a new search every time.
Earning
We set which cards the account holds and which it closes, where personal and business spend is placed, and which new cards are worth applying for. We watch balances, expiries and rule changes.
Spending
Each trip gets two prices, cash and points, before it is booked. We decide which program to draw on, when a transfer between them is warranted, and when cash is the better choice.
Status
We choose the tier worth holding, given how the client flies and stays, and say when none is. Once held, it is put to use at the lounge, the gate and the upgrade list.
In practice
Your points are worth more than you think.

What’s included
What we do
Tell us where you need to be and when. We search every option, cash fares and award seats, narrow them to the few that fit your dates, cabin and points plan, and book the one you choose.
Before we book, we price the trip two ways, as a cash fare and as an award with taxes and surcharges included, and weigh what the points would be worth on another trip. We then recommend the better deal, which is sometimes the cash fare.
Every message is answered within 24 hours.
If the flight you want is full, or an upgrade might open on one you’ve booked, we watch for space and put your request in the moment it appears.
Cancelled flights leave credits behind, and travel passes come with rules about dates, routes and who can fly on them. We track all of yours, put them toward the bookings where they save you the most, and make sure they don’t expire. Nothing sits forgotten in an airline account.
When a flight is delayed, send us the details. We assess whether the delay qualifies for compensation under the applicable rules and, where it does, file the claim directly with the airline in your name and follow it through.
Include the hotel in your trip request and we book it alongside your flights, paid in cash or with hotel points, whichever represents the better value. One request covers the whole trip.
We set goals for your points together, the trips you want them to pay for, then build the plan to get there: what to earn, and where. We check in each quarter to keep you on course, earning more points and spending them wisely. This is the part that multiplies the value of everything else.
We identify the status that suits how you fly and stay, map the route to it and how to keep it. We use status challenges and fast-track offers where they fit your travel. Where a status is not worth pursuing, we say so.
We monitor your airline, hotel and card programs: balances, points due to expire, status renewals and changes to program rules. Anything that needs a decision is brought to you in time to make it.
We advise on which cards to hold, which to close, and where to direct your spending so it earns the most. We review the benefits you already pay for, such as lounge access and fee waivers, and assess any new card before you apply.
Ask us anything about the programs you use: why we chose one over another, whether a transfer makes sense, what a status is worth. We answer in plain language, and your understanding of your points builds with each conversation.
