Please help to plan my parents' 25th wedding anniversary [BOM-ZRH-BOM, October 2013]
Hi everyone,
My parents are completing 25 years of togetherness on 22nd of October. For this I would like to gift them a trip which they would remember forever. They stay in India and the nearest airport is BOM. I want to fly them out to ZRH for a week. I was trying for the following:
10/22/13: BOM-ZRH using ANA and United miles
10/30/13: ZRH-BOM using AA miles
For the hotel I was thinking of Zurich marriott
I have the following points balances:
Chase UR: 22488
United: 19207
AA: 40262
ANA: 52537
Marriott: 133442, 1 cat 1-4 cert, 2 cat 1-5 certs
Hyatt: 3121
Amex MR: 3248
Korean: 42477(Ill have to put in a request to combine miles from 3 accounts)
I also have the following statuses:
United silver
Marriott silver
Hilton gold
IHG platinum
Accor platinum
Could you experts please help me plan out a trip for them? I would really appreciate any help that I can get.

If you transfer UR to United, you can definitely get 1 award ticket in economy on Swiss Airlines (via United's website). I'm not too familiar with ANA and others.
And AA has 20K per person on economy for Oct 30. So in the end you'd need to pay for 1 full-fare ticket.
