Combo miles and money to London
 

If I puchase two tix from AUS to JFK on CO via One Pass then purchase one ticket via Flying Club and one via credit cardto LHR ($3100) is that better or
Purchase the tickets to london via buy one get one free on AMEX Platnum?
All will be in business first/upper class
Thanks!

PS Please feel free to move this post

Buzz?

Anyway, since you haven't told us the cost of the Amex 2:1, how would we know which the better value?

But two first class tix from AUS-JFK @ 45k each (minimum), plus one upper class ticket on VS (80k?) plus $3100 strikes me as an awful lot to spend to get two people from AUS-LHR.

I am trying to spend the lest amount of $$ and this is our 10th Anniv so yes it is worth it if I can.

TTT
Could the moderator please move this to either CO or Virgin..
Thanks

I assume the stopover is important here. Can't you do two J awards AUS-LHR with a stopover in the NYC area?

What levels of mileage do you have and in which programs?

(A key benefit with FF awards in many programs is that a stopover is allowed. This could be of great benefit to you in this case.)

Actually no the stopover is not important.
CO will not allow me to find an affordable reward to London so I also have a Virgin account which will alow me to be able to use my miles:
I am not elite in either
I have about 100,000 in two accounts with CO
and 100,000 with Virgin
By my calculations I can fly free to JFK on CO then one free to London on Virgin and purchase a Virgin ticket.
Thanks for the help

Per your request... off to CO..
