Hi there,
I am looking for flights from Hamburg to Antalya in April for 3 people. I have been using various online tools over the past couple of days (ITA, Google flights, etc), but I cannot find any flights with reasonable costs.

Any suggestion on using points? I have a reasonable stash of QF, VA, SQ and AA points, and just over about 40,000 Avios points.
 
Prefer direct, but happy to have one stop over. Dates are 14th or 15th of April for the outbound and 20th or 21st for the inbound.

From what i can see direct flights are charter airlines such as Condor which probably won't be what you're looking for in experience and a value for money sense. Lufthansa and Turkish each fly the route and they're Singapore Airlines partners, perhaps they would be worth using points on (someone more learned in Krisflyer redemptions should be able to chime in).

Thanks for the suggestion. I am happy to fly any old airline, even LCCs, if the timing and costs are ‘reasonable’. It is only a 2-3 hour flight. I am getting to HAM on EK first class, so I can be less precious for intra-EU :p
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

If it's one way you might find legacy carriers prohibitively expensive. In Europe a lot of them do still prescribe to the older mantra of short haul being much cheaper when you book a return ticket.

Points ticket is good advice,perhaps try looking in to that through SQ - oneworld will be of little use I think

Catch with SQ is that Turkey is in ME/North Africa zone, so that's 17.5K pts oneway, and then looking at about $150 in surcharges using TK or more if using LH.

Can see availability with Avianca but in J only and award availability with SkyTeam but the fees make it cost prohibitive let alone being mostly 2 stops

I’m after return ticket. I am finding it difficult to find any availability on SQ web site (ie. partners).
 
Not sure if you ended up booking yet, but I see that Turkish Airlines has just announced it will launch Munich-Antalya flights from April, operating 2x per week. Given it's a new route, prices may be a bit more reasonable.
 
Thanks Mate. Just a few days ago I used my AmEx travel credits to book the flights (had 3x travel credits worth 1x$300 and 2x$400). I ended up having three separate PNRs with one travel credit used against each PNR.

I think it was blood expensive for what it is (basically a couple of intra-EU legs in each direction, in economy, costing north of $400 per person). At least I got to use the travel credits.
