Best Redemption on Partner Airline from Europe,USA to Middle East
Hi Folks
I am new to Airberlin Airline and Would like to know what is the best redemption rate, low surcharges and fees. Because, I went through the redemption page and it shows 500 EUR Surcharges between Europe and Middle East on Etihad Airways.
Thanks in Advance

2) You can´t book F flights with topbonus
There are some great redemptions to incredible rates with topbonus miles but as there are too many blogs reading here, I won´t gonna post them here.

Interesting and show that the world of redemption is complex, as AB is one of the best redemption when doing through BA as it does not have YQ.
As for not sharing due to blogs, frankly this is against the spirit of FT which is about sharing knowledge.

I never said I redeemed with Top Bonus. I said JL YQ is usually low, which i illustrated by an example. It is an Avios redemption. However the point stayed: JL redemption are low in YQ and thus it answers the OP question. If booked with an AB account, the YQ would be the same or lower.
I would note I am trying to be helpful to the OP while all of you are saying you know but will not share.

Etihad don't normally have surcharges, so I believe that Topbonus only adds them on itineraries that include Air Berlin connections.

the best redemption would be between cities you want to travel in business obviously.
But looking at value the basic premise is that top bonus has a zonal chart that allows connections (not distance based) so the greater the distance the better the value.
