Would it be BD? Would it be roughly 28,000 miles (100% C bonus?)? The BD site gives very little info.
Would be pleased to make * Alliance Silver in one trip and have enough redeemable miles for a domestic ticket to boot. What is the US bonus?
Thanks

yes you'd end up with around 30K miles which is nearly enough to get a miles and cash C ticket to Europe (cost to you in cash around $500 rtn as a complete guess) which is nice
