We have approx 600,000 points with VA as a result of flights and points transfers (using Amex points bonus transfer deals).
We need to fly to the UK for friend's wedding (between Liverpool and Manchester), on 1 Aug and are planning a 3 week trip so we can have a look around Liverpool/ Manchester/ Lake District, north Wales, and possibly a short side trip to Dublin. We also need to visit friends in London. We will probably hire a car or train it up or down to London so we can do a few things along the way.
What are my best points options for 2 people? We've seen that Etihad is cheaper to use points with and less in terms of taxes. Are we best to buy Business Class with them or how should we make the most of our points?
We are also considering doing a stopover in Abu Dhabi on the way there or back.
Any options or advice greatly appreciated.
