It's been awhile since I've done one of these threads so I thought I'd bring it up as I'm currently planning a trip to AU/NZ. My grand total is around 220K Avios + 90K qmiles (Which I won from the QR travel fest) & £300 in taxes or so.
My Current itinerary is below
Code:
EDI-DOH-AKL / QR / J / 90K Qmiles
AKL-SYD / LA / J / 20K Avios
PER-HKG / CX / J / 60K Avios
HKG-HAN-HKG / CX / J / 18K Avios
HKG-LHR / CX / F / 120K Avios
Please post your itinerary for your biggest avios blowout
I had thought about going RTW by doing PER-HKG-LAX-JFK/YYZ-LHR but the extra taxes for getting BA TATL are not worth it in my view. There's also the SA route via SCL and MAD I guess.
