Is there a cheaper routing possibility than this?
« on: August 27, 2014, 05:26:30 PM »
NYC-LHR,   45,000,  Amex  MR,  UA, Business
LHR-CDG,   4,500,   Chase UR,  BA, Economy
CDG-NCE,  10,000,  Amex  MR,  AF, Economy
NCE-FCO,  12,500,  Amex  MR,  AZ, Economy
FCO-VCE,  10,000,  Amex  MR,  AZ, Economy
VCE-ZRH,  15,000,  Chase UR,  LX, Economy
ZRH-AMS,  10,000,  Amex MR,   KL, Economy
AMS-PRG,  15,000,  Amex MR,   KL, Economy
JTR-TLV,    25,000, Chase UR,  A3, Economy
TLV-NYC,   62,500,  Amex MR,   DL, Business

Some flights within Europe are cheaper to purchase but lets say I only want to book with points/miles is my above research the cheapest way?

Thanks in advance,

In all certainty I would need to call SQ once I find availability. How about YQ on SQ? DL thru Flying Blue doesnt charge for YQ & its a direct flight.

No, for example AMS-JFK on DL via flying blue doesn't charge any YQ. Just one that came to mind.. plus doesnt flying blue think Israel is in Europe? Or at least it figures it that way I believe

Yup not sure what FB policy is.. They charge YQ on DL when departing LHR.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.
