getting to Singapore business class with points during the Xmas New Year period
I'm new to flyertalk forums so please redirect me to the right place if I'm in the wrong place. We have a lot of Amex points and some USAirways miles and we want to get three of us to Singapore, business class, around Dec 26 of this year returning January 6 of next. So far we're failing completely. We've tried with USAirways, Amex, and Singapore Airways (which seems to want 170k miles each). Is there a trick we're missing? By the way, if you have advice, please know that I'm a novice and I don't understand much of what I read on flyertalk (although it seems clear that lots of you know what you're talking about, whatever it is!).
