We're planning as relatively last minute trip to Europe for 2-3 weeks mid june. I have a heap of Qantas points so hoping to get some ideas on the best way to use them e.g. Payiong for a flight to to Singapore or malaysia and getting a connecting flight into Europe with points.
Countries we're thinking of visiting
Spain
UK
Italy
France
portugal
Switzerland
and possibly morocco given proximity to spain and portugal.
Thanks
Best way is to use points to pay for the whole return ticket.
Sometimes difficult to find points flights from Aus, and easier from Asia
the best way…….. at that time of the year………. with qantas…….. is to pay cash
soz bro
2-3 weeks is not long enough if you want to visit all those countries
It's plenty of time.
Qantas releases rewards in batches and not according to any schedule.
We had luck by transiting through India (Bengalore - but not June).
That sounds unfortunate
Departure date & city? Number of seats? Travel class? How many points is a heap? I too have a heap of points: 1.8M
6th evening onwards from Sydney - 2 seats in economy. I have about 220k which is a heap for me but deifnitely not compared to yours
It's actually possible by flying home via JFK. Two seats in economy for $2456.56 but you'll need 264,800 points so can you borrow some from a family member?
That is peak season. I would put it off if I was you. The costs will be very high and the weather in Spain a nightmare.
If you're fine with economy then there are plenty of options available for June. You just need to play around with multi-city. Here's one option that will get you to Paris
Definitely good with Economy. thanks for that, hoping we can leave from 6th evening onwards. I found a good option for about 70k to Heathrow but they only have 1 seat.
That is pretty common, especially if you look at Business and First.
I think the best way is online.
