Would LOVE Opinion of AFF - Perth to Europe!

[wchiri]

Hello all!!

The situation is this:

My wife and I are going to these places: Vienna, Salzburg, Obergurgl for 2.5 weeks in November. We will also visit either Munich or Zurich depending on where we land/take off from.

Our points situation:

Amex MR - 100,000
Krisflyer - 21,000
Velocity - 110,000 EACH
Citibank - 67,500
Qantas - 100,000 EACH

We would love to try the Business Class 787 (Etihad Abu Dhabi to Zurich), or A380 (Emirates Dubai to Zurich/Munich) or SQ SIN-Zurich A380.

The problem is trying to plan the itinerary. We would love to ski LAST so we'll be in the south of Austria just before departure. Also we have to go through Dubai/Abu Dhabi on the way there.

Is the 777-300ER business class product good on the big airlines?

The most obvious answer will be to go through Vienna, but they are smaller planes I think and the business class experience might not be fully appreciated.

Can't wait to hear all your responses!

Unless youre very flexible with dates you may have left it a bit late for many options, save for transferring VA and MR points to SQKF

I've checked all the possible flight options and they are all available

I would take the EK A380 Perth Dubai Zurich in J.

Yes. Seems to me that EK would be the easiest and most direct if you can get this..,

That is what I thought too, but I don't think we have enough points. And we have to stop over for 3 days in UAE.

My thought is:

Perth - Dubai EK A380
Stay in UAE for 3 days
Abu Dhabi - Munich Etihad
Munich train to Vienna - hire a car, drive around Austria etc, go skiing
Train to Zurich, flight out Singapore airlines A380 back to Perth via Singapore.
