Reward availability is the issue.
Trying to book BNE-MXP (via DXB) on QF Flt no (EK Metal), but basically zero availabilty (via PER is an option however).
That would be 128,000 Points if I could find it.
Another Option that does have availability is BNE-SIN (Stopover) SIN-DXB-MXP for 144,000 points. Not a bad option with a day or two in SIN.
However, two lots of very high booking fees (around $800 total one way!)
As a Gold FF am I am better off booking a Y fare and applying for a points UG to J? Or is this risky/poor availability also?
