Hi FTers,
Hoping you could help me decide where to credit my upcoming Japan trip.
I've booked some round-trip tickets with JAL that would net me around 18k with Malaysia or Japan Airlines, 17K with either AA, or Iberia, 16k with Flying Blue, Cathay Pacific or 10k with British/Flying Blue/Emirates. As I'm based in Germany and collecting Miles&More, I don't know which of these programs make the most sense to put the miles into. I know I'd like to avoid Flying Blue since the dynamic prices for redeeming miles is a PIA.
It seems either Iberia, British or Finnair would make the most sense since I can easily redeem these miles on European routes, prices are more or less fixed and I can top up if I still need miles from my AMEX Rewards program. Any particular one you would recommend where the miles would be good for 1-2 years and provide the best redeeming value?
Thank you!
