I'm hoping that's broad enough.

If I can also get a direct flight from AMS to NYC that leaves after 10am and arrives in time for dinner as well, that would be an awesome itinerary. I'd settle for LHR or MAN, though, and suspect that might be the way to go given that I've lots more Avios than Virgin Points.

I've got the hotel booked for free already, just want to see if I can get a flight that feels like I'm on holiday as well...
