Really? A saver fare on Virgin Australia includes one bag + one extra (46kg total) would be $60 on a return trip.

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!

60k miles at full price is US$2257.50 (A$2310) - you have not included the 7.5% tax.

However if the poster was successful in finding seats out of DUB the taxes would be significantly less than a UK...

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!

Who said it was different?

My point was that Kevin had just spent $1000+ on miles he didn't need. He seemed to be proposing to just give them away as long as the new owner paid the share cost (about...

Gifting is just buying miles for someone else...they do not come from your miles balance - giving someone else some of your miles is known as 'sharing'.

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!

The miles quoted are for return travel. You then have to add approx $500 for taxes & fees if going to the UK - much less for other destinations.

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!

Keep them. When they get converted to the new OneWorld program you'll probably need 60k for a one way to the UK in business class - that is the current cost with AA.

Before shelling out more cash on miles have you tried calling points.com or US?

Vietnam is 90k in business.

You can do this as long as you don't have a stopover in Singapore.

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!

$2900 seems expensive - even for 10% of the full published fare - I'd work on that.

Oh and do not let the agent book you on a TG 77W flight between BKK and FRA - infants are not allowed in the...
