The awardhacker web site just shows how many ff miles are/may be needed for a particular trip. It may not be 100% accurate and does not show award availability. Is general information only.
You can use Amex points in the Amex travel portal at $0.01 per point* to
buy a flight. (* check the rate- I may be incorrect)
Or transfer the Amex points to a frequent flyer program and try to get awards using ff miles, taxes & cash copayment if required. Getting 2 x business class long haul awards can be hard. Awards are not guaranteed.
Do you have any existing frequent flyer miles?
