multicity trip advice with points plus pay
 

I am in perth my understanding is that if i fly to bali or singapore then fly to the usa or uk its less points and can even fly business class.

London to NY to LA to
So saying i can get a cheap ticket like 120.00 to singapore or bali then fly from there

Looking then at

SING TO UK OR USA

Any tips on which legs are better snd use less points.?

I have to goto UK but can fly over from US if i have to
Thanks

What is your question? How many points/miles do you have in what programs? Do you plan to buy tickets or redeem points? I don't think 120 (dollars?) is going to get you very far out of Perth.

Once again agree with LondonElite, which is growing to be a repetitive situation as of late, but what you're asking requires more info. Which programs do you have miles with or are you able to transfer to?
Yes, it's true that sometimes you can get a much more valuable redemption of miles starting from certain countries with a cheap positioning flight. But those depend on the programs you'll be using and where you plan on traveling.

Use at your own risk. (These are not recommendations)
These links give a guide of ff miles needed. These may not be up to date.
Availability is from the airline ffp web sites/phone.
Award flights are never guaranteed. You need to be flexible with date and route.
Frequent flyer miles/points are not equal to or burn. They are not 1 to 1
If a multi segment award check the rules/cost carefully. With some ffp’s it can be 2 or more awards or cost more ff miles/points than a direct flight.
If the award is on partner airline it may cost more miles/points than an award on the ffp airline.
Some awards/airlines/routes can have cash surcharges, in addition to real taxes.
Real taxes/regulatory fees are the same for all airlines on the same route/class.
Some carrier imposed surcharges can trigger additional real taxes when the flight changes from non-revenue to revenue.

Sorry ;)

Far from the worst thing to tend to agree with you :P
Though I am a bit jealous of your Hyatt Globalist status after being downgraded from lifetime Diamond to lifetime Explorist.

I don't actually know why I got it. I only had about 23 stays last year so shouldn't have even renewed my Diamond!
