Markus, Founder

Avios Intelligence was born out of a practical challenge in March 2026. When my partner struggled to calculate Avios yields for a British Airways business class flight while being a Finnair Plus member, I realised that existing online tools lacked the precision and "arbitrage" perspective that elite flyers demand. As a member of the Qatar Airways Privilege Club, I felt a drive to build a tool that simplified complex loyalty mathematics for everyone.

My passion for aviation is in my DNA. I am a child of the 80s and 90s, born into a family with deep industry roots. My late grandfather was a pioneer for Lufthansa, establishing their South American technical stations in the mid-20th century. While Lufthansa always felt like a monolithic "cult" in my childhood, it cemented my destiny as a travel enthusiast and aviation geek.

In the last two and a half years alone, I have logged over 260,000 miles—a distance slightly greater than a one-way trip to the moon. This frequent travel is driven by a search for the best global deals and superior cabin products. While I pride myself on being an objective critic, you will notice my preference for the world-class service standards of Japan Airlines and Qatar Airways.

Today, I am a dedicated Oneworld loyalist, having moved away from the Lufthansa group in pursuit of higher premium standards. Avios Intelligence is a passion project built on the philosophy that "sharing is caring." Whether you are a status chaser or a casual traveller, I hope these tools bring clarity to your next journey.
