Hi, I've collected a lot of spg points from sheraton stays and thinking of flying emirates biz or first class in december by transferring to JAL points. I've never done it before so been reading up on blogs. I need some advice! I'd like to stopover in dubai (is this allowed on JAL awards?) and continue to asia, almost anywhere would be a treat. i saw that jal awards is based on how far it is. does anyone know how i can calculate how many miles it is to a certain destination? better yet, does anyone have an itinerary that maximizes a certain level or award? I hope that makes sense. Thanks for the help!^
