And no, not my honeymoon
I am charged with organising an F experience for someone near and dear and as WP I might have a better chance. I’m lining this up for Sept 2018 so ready to pounce when EK comes online for award flights. It’s about 14 days off.
Having warned said younger folk who can only afford Y that this will kill them for future Y flights, these are my thoughts. I’ve also warned them they may need to be flexible re departure airport.
We can pool enough points to fly straight through LHR - DXB - MEL in F on A380. But they want a break in Dubai so this seems to increase points cost but does also seem to open up more flights out of LHR into DXB.
So, I’ve suggested J on EK 380 to DXB, 4 nights in DXB then F on EK through to MEL. This way points is around 380,000 from memory.
So any creative thoughts? Am I doing this the best way? Also, who should I speak too regarding extra special attention for their honeymoon flights?
