Hi all. This is my first post and am still getting used to the web site so apologies in advance if my questions have been answered before on other posts that I have not found.
Around May 2012 my wife and I plan on going to Europe for the first time to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Will be visiting France, Germany, Holland and Belgium only for about 4 weeks. Intend to travel business class ex Brisbane using points from credit cards.
Currently have about 150,000 points with Amex and about 650,000 points with Westpac Altitude. Have used points before to fly business return to KL on MH. Have read that MH fees are on the high side so looking at alternatives.
From research so far other alternatives if I join their ff prorgammes are TG and SQ.If flying SQ would have to fly in and out of Amsterdam with number of points I would have as Paris and Frankfurt are alot more.
Any sugestions or tips would be most welcome. I would prefer to fly out of Brisbane rather than having to go to Sydney or Melbourne.
