hey everyone, apologies for the basic questions, but I couldnt find the question asked before,
Looking at F from Melb To Athens about July 2020, very flexible with dates, still building my itinerary
As Ive mentioned on another thread Taxes/surcharges are high if I do it from MEL,
so if I do it from HKG,
I looked at some random date
on the qantas website, there is literally 1 x flight available the whole month and its 108k points+1020 HKD ($200 AUD)
I also have emirates and qantas points that I would prefer to use emirates points as they will expire in 2022 which seems ages away but I may not fly EK again due to availability
on the emirates HP, if I look at availability there seems to be availability every day, however its 131k points +1020HKD
since ratios for EK points are a lot higher, it seems that its almost 200k Amex points (pre deval) for the same flight
is this how it is? are there any better ways?
I notice that the emirates website says free cancellation/change which would help since my itinerary isnt 100% confirmed
