Points and miles enthusiasts have more options than ever to use their rewards for exclusive travel experiences. Beyond premium flights and luxury hotel stays, these rewards can unlock access to private islands and personal butlers.
One such opportunity is a stay at Richard Branson's Necker Island. "You can redeem 630,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points plus $5,700 to get a three-night stay for two," offering a retreat on this private island in the British Virgin Islands. The resort includes various amenities and requires Virgin Atlantic Silver or Gold status for bookings.
For air travel, Etihad Airways offers first-class "Apartments" on its Airbus A380s, featuring spacious seating and an onboard shower. "You'll pay 160,000 Etihad Guest miles when booking the JFK-AUH route," according to reports.
