Is this a good redemption to Europe?
I'm not sure where these posts go anymore - if it is better an another subforum, please let me know...
I'm trying to get to London and Berlin from NYC in late June. I would like to fly at least "Economy Plus"... Maybe business on the way back. Ideally I would fly out from NYC on Friday, stay the weekend in London, fly to Berlin early the next week, then fly back from Berlin to NYC on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday.
I have 100,000 Avios points and have priced out a trip that costs about 70,000 Avois +773 in fees, all in economy plus. Going to business on the way back would increase the price to 80,000 Avois and $900 in fees. I have about 80,000 in Barclays points that can be used against the fees.
Is that a decent redemption to Europe? I have 60,000 SkyPesos, 55,000 Alaska Miles and 45,000 MR Points (Which I will likely use to replenish Avois sometime this year). I don't know if I have any other real options with the low points I have.
