Best way to burn miles
I've recently trialled switching to BAEC and have been reasonably happy with it. I think the main thing going for it is the household account and large OW network.
So we still have some miles sitting around. I have 48000 and missus has around 80000. I have around 20000 in amex points which I can convert if required. We also have a 7yr old son with no account.
We are pretty flexible in terms of destinations, HK, east coast, carribeans all work. Ideally upper class. And ideally around 3k max all in. Is that even possible? I think the sticking point is our son. Is there a way to share miles with him? Otherwise buying an outright upper class ticket for him is expensive! This is one of the primary reasons we switched to BAEC...
If not flights, is there another (cost/point efficient) way to burn off the miles?
