Hi
I have just had an invitation to join a friend in Split, Croatia on 22nd June 2019 for a holiday.
I normally book my own flights online but I need some guidance with this problem please.
It's complicated ....
I have ended up with various amounts of points sitting with various airlines and credit card programmes eg
Westpac Altitude - 242,965
Amex (David Jones)- 219,000
Velocity - 45,500 - maybe more after their latest promo
then a few scattered with:
Delta Skymiles - 21,155 - no expiry
Qantas - 15,180 - no expiry
Vietnam Airlines
I am also with Krisflyer but nothing much in there !
The good news is I am very flexible with my dates, so I was thinking of flight from Perth to maybe ?Rome, Milan, Prague, Ljubljana - to make a bit of a holiday before making my way to Croatia before 22nd June to meet my friends.
I know that sounds vague, but I have to plan which way the itinerary goes -
either fly into Edinburgh or London and have a UK holiday, then use train, bus, or LCC flights in UK to Europe, before the Croatian holiday OR vice versa.
Flying back home out of Zagreb (I think that is the preferred option as May and early June will be cooler and pre UK school hols in mid July).
I would like to use the points to get a Business class flight at least for the long haul sector on any airline (as you can see from my track record I am not a loyal flyer- oops).
If it is too late to snag 1 Business class award seat for next May or June; then I am fine with economy, but open to multiple stopovers with 1-2 nights stay minimum to break up the journey. I have never been to Hong Kong but seen Dubai/Singapore multiple times.
I wish you all a Happy New Year !
