Hi All,
I'm planning a trip for me and my partner to HNL early next year. I currently have approximately 125k AMEX Membership Rewards Points and anticipate I'll have somewhere in the vicinity of 150k MR points when I travel. We have a very small amount of points with QF and DJ (about 3k each)
Wondering if somebody can please help with the best way to use these points for a round trip to HNL from BNE? Also happy to fly from SYD if it helps.
From what I can see, I can do the following - points are the same from BNE or SYD
QF = 36000 points + taxes per person each way = 144000
DJ = 45000 points + taxes per person each way = 180000
So QF looks to make more sense (to my inexperienced eye). However I have stumbled across the Asia Miles website which CX is a part of and from their website, it says that I can do a SYD - HNL for 30000 per person each way (120000) which is a bit of a saving.
My question is:
Is there any reason why I shouldn't transfer my points to CX and book the redemption flight through them? I know that it will be a QF codeshare flight.
Does the AMEX Platinum Charge Card let you gain entry to the QF F lounge?
Thanks, Ben
