Hello there, I hope somone can assist me with some advice.
About 5 weeks ago I paid a deposit on a very good overseas accomodation offer. Basically it offers 24 nights accomodation in 4-5 star hotels at pre-ordained destinations at a very reasonable price in return for attending a timeshare presentation.
The offer is for accomodation only, i.e. all airfares and transfers are my responsibility. The deal is for 10 nights accomodation in Florida, U.S.A. (at Orlando and Daytona Beach) plus 7 nights accomodation in Paris and another 7 in either Bangkok or Bali. The destinations can be travelled to in any order I choose.
My plan was to fly from either Melbourne or Sydney to Bali or Bangkok (whichever is the most direct stopover between Australia and Paris), then to Paris, then to London (where I will stay 1 week at my own expense to visit friends), then to Orlando, then back to Australia . A local travel agent suggested that a round world airfare would be the best value.
I have made the booking for September 2005, so between now and then I want to accumulate as many frequent flyer points as possible to assist with the cost of the airfares.
Would you therefore advise me as to the best frequent flyer points programme to join, given the above information about my trip next year?
Cheers
