**British Entrepreneur Predicts Travel Will Bounce-Back in 2021**
*Reward Flight Finder website launch aims to help cash-strapped, travel starved consumers save money in 2021 by booking flights with vouchers and points.*
26 year old British entrepreneur, Douglas Rose, is backing travel to bounce-back in 2021, with the launch of a new website, designed to help cash strapped travellers go on holiday, as soon as they’re able to fly again.
Rewardflightfinder.com offers simple advice, explaining how to turn loyalty points and vouchers, from everyday spending, into airline miles that can be redeemed for flights. It also provides free tools to help people discover which flights their miles and points can be redeemed for, potentially saving hundreds of pounds in air fares.
“Millions of people have unused loyalty points they’ve earned from airlines, credit cards and supermarket loyalty programmes,” explains Mr. Rose, “Reward Flight Finder makes it simple to covert those points into flight tickets.”
The Coronavirus pandemic, constantly changing global travel restrictions, border closures and Brexit uncertainty have all made 2020 a challenging year for the travel industry. So it may seem like a strange time to launch a new flights website. However Douglas Rose believes now is the perfect time for Reward Flight Finder:
“Covid vaccinations and reliable rapid-testing will allow borders to reopen in 2021, unleashing pent-up demand for travel abroad. Let’s be honest, most people could do with a holiday next year! However, whilst many families can’t wait to go away together again, the impact of the pandemic on household incomes can’t be underestimated. That’s why Reward Flight Finder explains how to earn points from everyday activities, providing free tools to discover flights that can be booked using points.”
Research conducted by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) supports this viewpoint. Their survey1 of 4,700 people found that just under 50% or respondents would be willing to fly again, within 2 months of the pandemic risk subsiding. However 64% indicated that they might have to postpone travel until their economic circumstances improved.
*About Reward Flight Finder*
Reward Flight Finder was originally created by a software engineer in his spare time, who was frustrated that airline websites made it hard to find and book flights using loyalty points. Douglas Rose took it over in 2020, seeing potential for the concept to grow. Under his direction, the original technology has been further developed and expert tips and advice added, to create the new Reward Flight Finder website.
Reward Flight Finder allows users to make free searches for British Airways flights which can be booked using points, showing them availability for a full year in advance, across all cabin classes. They can also set up free alerts to be notified when new seats become available to the places they want to visit. A premium service is available for frequent fliers who have already built up a large amount of loyalty points. There are plans to add availability searches and alerts for additional airlines in the New Year.
