Sabine Leroy’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Sabine is an Australian travel writer based in Dubai. Born to French parents, she’s been travelling in and out of Europe since she was just three.

A self-confessed aviation geek, Sabine maximises points wherever she can to avoid economy and drink champagne on a beer budget. She's even paid for a night in a hotel she didn't stay in to jump a status tier.

Her travel goal? To visit 40 countries by the time she is 40.

Escape’s points expert, Sabine Leroy, answers your questions about frequent flyer programs. Don't let your Velocity points wither. How long do I have to use my Velocity points? Do they expire? Yes they can expire. But if you consistently earn or spend points, they won’t expire. Sounds complicated, I know. Here’s how it works. Your Velocity points will expire after 24 months of what Virgin calls “account inactivity”. That means over two years, nothing has happened with your account.
