I haven't booked flights using AMEX transferred miles for a number of years. I have 400,000 points. Any advice for booking award travel flights for 3 people next August 2011 from LAX to Cape Town, South Africa?
What airline will I have the greatest success of getting seats for 3 people with the amount of miles I have in my account?

I found this earlier post from Mar. 3, 2007:

nonstops
-SA (JFK/IAD/ATL) (AC, NH, SQ, VS)
-DL (ATL) (AF, CO, DL, AZ)

star alliance with 1 stop
-LH (FRA/MUC) (AC, NH, SQ, Mexicana)
-LX (ZRH) (AC, NH, SQ)
-SA (a bunch if multi-carrier) (AC, NH, SQ)

skyteam with 1 stop
-AF (CDG) (AF, CO, DL, AZ)
-KL (AMS) (AF, CO, DL, AZ)
-NW (AMS) (AF, CO, DL, AZ)

other with 1 stop
-VS (LHR) (VS, CO, SQ)
-EK (DXB) (CO)

Welcome to Flyertalk.

In which class of service do you hope to travel: economy, business or first? Do you have any existing mileage balance with any airline?
