Hi Everybody,

So apologies in advance if this feels redundant or newbish to anyone but I find it sometimes most effective to utilize forums to explain personal circumstance as opposed to getting bogged down in research, which I tend to do.

So! Here's my background:

- I'm going to Europe for a month in November.
- I've been saving my Chase Sapphire points just for this and I have around $1,100 worth of a balance.
- I'd like to deploy them as best as I can.
- WOW has some seriously cheap flights which I could pay out of pocket for.
- Basically just need 3 flights: 1 out to Amsterdam, 1 Mainland flight intra-trip (TBD), and one return flight home from Barcelona.

I know when booking via the chase portal and also exploring options outside of WOW, it'll be more expensive and draining to my points, but having said that, I'd obviously like to utilize these points and not have to pay out of pocket for a flight. I get what comes with WOW (expectations, bags, upsells, delays etc...) so no need to go into that.

Let's just say you were in my shoes.. how's the best way to go about maximizing points here? - Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks so much in advance for any time.
