Greetings?I would like to plan a summer getaway for the family. I'd like to fly to Europe an stay for two weeks and then continue to EY and stay there for two weeks. I would be traveling with 6 other travelers and have 120k SPG points and about 150k UR from Chase. I need points for travel in August and not for stays. I need only one stopover on the way to EY. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks
FB = ?
Actually 120K SPG=150K FB, which is enough for 6 tickets to Europe/Israel during a promo period, albeit for $500-$700 of fuel surcharges.
Or it's enough for 3 saver tickets on Delta with no fuel surcharges when they open up low availability.
Are you suggesting he pay as much as $4200 for six coach tickets? Without points those same tickets may only cost him ~$6000 cash, thereby saving his 120,000 SPG. $1800 of value for 120K SPG seems a less-than-stellar redemption.In any case, he said he needed 7 tickets, not 6. Don't hold your breath. Aside from the fact that it's difficult at all to find low availability tickets, exponentially harder to find three on the same flight.
He wants to stopover in Europe. Good luck finding a paid ticket that allows you to do Europe and Israel like an award ticket will.
...not going to be able to get 7 people to Israel with a stopover with the points [he has].
And I'm saying that's not true, he most definitely can, albeit with fuel surcharges and not on the exact same flight unless he finds someone to trade points/miles with.
Dan,I just found, using Kayak, travel to Zurich, stay 2 weeks, continue to TLV, and return to EWR two weeks later for $1,630 pp. All after July 31. I now need the best minivan deal in both places. Any ideas?Best
