best way how to spend 100k for N-AM - Europe reward
Hi, I am currently holding reward itin for AF business class flights IAD-CDG-HEL-CDG-ATL, outbound next week and return in late October. Cost is 100 k skymiles and 90 euros and i should ticket it tomorrow. I am almost happy with the iad-cdg-hel leg, as tatl seg is on airbus380 (should be better than regular AF business class, as seats are 2-2-2, right?), but how could I do better with return leg? I would ideally like to "return" to some more exotic spot within Caribbean, Mexico or Central America either direct from Europe or by adding fifth segment from ATL to any place within Caribbean, C-AM or Mexico, which is interesting and fun and usually has availablity for low amount of miles (my goal is to still keep cost for this trip as low as 100 000 miles). Any suggestions? Secondly I would ideally like to fly out from JFK instead of IAD, but tickets out from NYC are very costly mile-wise at least on DL,KL and AF. Are there any carriers that historically tend to be available for low amount of miles in business for New York to Finland routing? Maybe SU via SVO or AZ/OK via FCO and PRG or even 9W/KL via BRU and AMS? I am calling to DL tomorrow, but just want to be well prepared when I talk with agent. Thanks :)
