We've done it hard over the last few years and I want to treat her... and myself to a white Christmas in the US. Or at the least a cold Christmas. I have spent some time looking at fares (both QFF points and paid).
Clearly being the Christmas period the prices are more. I have enough points to go Prem Econ return to LAX any low period ( as does my wife ) but not enough for a one way at any of the peak times.
If I have to, I will buy an economy fare and try to get an upgrade with the points. Am I likely to get a fare for that period on a sale ? After a return cattle class trip to BKK I want to avoid Economy for such a long flight if possible.
So, whilst I am not after an itinerary, I am asking the combined knowledge of this forum for any hints as to how to get a fare at a reasonable price or a way to be able to use points. I haven't been able to fly for a few years so I haven't had my finger on the pulse of flying and I can't find anything relevant on a search.
thanks in advance.
Jeff
