Hi there. Long time no post for me having had our travel plans put on hold for a while due to me having a baby this year! I was debating whether to put this under Virgin or AMEX so mods please move if you think it is better placed elsewhere.
My husband and I have over 400k AMEX points which sadly can't be converted to Qantas FF points. We want to use them for award business class tickets to the US, but the question is which airline? Virgin is a possibility but I have no experience in flying them, let alone knowing how to nab an award seat. I also don't want to transfer the points over to Virgin and then find out their award seats are few and far between. Travel dates are flexible - sometime in 2013 would be good.
Does anyone know what my chances would be of being able to redeem points for two business class tickets between Australia and Los Angeles on Virgin sometime in 2013? It doesn't matter which city we fly out of as we are from Adelaide so will need to find our way to Mel, Syd or Bne for the flight anyway
If not Virgin, then any ideas on a better way to use these points to get to the US?
Thanks!
