Best FF programme to book award domestic tickets on Ethiopian airlines
Hi All,
I'm not sure if this is the place to get answers for this. If not, let me know where to repost.
I'm trying to book domestic flights within Ethiopia from the UK via one of the frequent flyer programmes (star alliance). I'm just not sure which one is the best, in terms of points, to book Ethiopian.
With United Airlines FF domestic flights within Ethiopia are 8000 points (one way). Was just wondering if there was a better FF programme other than UA.
Thanks.

And what is the cash price?
A guide, but does not have all ffp's:- www.awardhacker.com
And consider award surcharges, if any.

Usually cash price for domestic flights in Ethiopia is pretty high if you don't have the discount from combining it with an ET international ticket.
UA is going to be one of the better programs, since they have the 8k awards for short flights. I don't think there are any distance based *A programs anymore which is the only way you'd see that amount reduced. NH used to be, but they went to a region based award chart quite a while ago.

Definitely the cheapest way, though I know it didn't answer your question.
