For the tickets I followed meshugener's advice booking expedia via UR portal. Thank you.
For Hotels Im going to book via Rocketmiles to get 6000avios for one of the nights and book the rest through hyatt with me as part of the reservation.
Thanks for all the help
Make sure that's the right approach.
IME, Rocketmiles had higher rates than hotels.com, so you might pay a premium for a few miles.
And take into consideration that you 1) also earn additional point booking on hotels.com through the UR mall; 2) there are a few hotels.com coupon codes floating around saving you ~$20 per booking (or per night if you're really in the mood of saving money
); 3) you get a free night after 10 nights (but they expire after 1 year).
