About Me
Hi, I’m Ali -your personal points travel strategist.
I started Tarmac to Terrace with one goal: to help everyday travellers fly in comfort without spending thousands. Whether you’re off to see family, taking a long-awaited holiday, or travelling for work, I believe the journey should be just as rewarding as the destination.
Like many of my clients, I used to spend thousands on business class flights—until I discovered the power of points. Over the years, I’ve redeemed frequent flyer miles for incredible flights on top airlines, saving thousands while flying in style. What started as a personal obsession has now become a way for me to help others do the same.
I don’t sell flights or book award tickets on your behalf. Instead, I offer personalised coaching to help you build a smart points strategy, find the best redemptions, and fly better for less. Whether you’re just getting started or already have points to use, I’m here to help you make the most of them.
So if you’re tired of flying long-haul in economy and want to elevate your travel experience, you’re in the right place.
Let’s make air travel enjoyable again.
Real Travelers. Real Results
Here’s what everyday travelers just like you have achieved with a smart points strategy—and a little guidance from Tarmac to Terrace.
“I had over 200,000 Avios sitting in my account for years. Ali helped me turn them into a one-way Qsuite ticket that would’ve cost me over £2,800 in cash. I paid less than £350 in taxes and fees. Best flight of my life—and I’ll never fly long-haul in economy again.”

“We were trying to fly home to see family without spending thousands. Ali found us a business class option using Virgin Points we didn’t even know we could access. Two lie-flat seats, lounge access, and a seamless booking experience. We’re hooked!”
- Dinesh & Priya
- Manchester to Mumbai
“As a first-timer, I didn’t even know where to begin. Ali broke it all down step-by-step, showed me how to earn Amex points in Canada, and found me an amazing redemption on Lufthansa. I paid just CAD $180 out of pocket. Absolutely worth it.”

- Toronto to Frankfurt
“We used Ali’s strategy to earn over 300,000 points in under 6 months—enough to fly business class to Hawaii for our honeymoon. The flights alone would’ve cost $7,000 AUD. We got them for under $800 total. Working with Tarmac to Terrace was the best wedding decision we made.”
- Jade & Sam
- Sydney to Honolulu
“I always thought points travel was a myth—until I met Ali. He showed me how to earn transferable points with my everyday spending, and within four months, I was flying Singapore Airlines business class to Bali for my 30th. I saved over $5,000 and got treated like royalty. Forever grateful!”

- San Francisco to Denpasar
“As a consultant who travels often, I was tired of shelling out for premium tickets or flying exhausted in economy. Ali helped me build a flexible points portfolio and taught me how to book business class flights myself—even on tight notice. I’ve already redeemed two round-trips and saved over £6,000 in 10 months.”
