JFK-FCO on AZ for 50k AF/AZ RT.

1. AF and AZ only transfer from SPG, if doing that might as well do AA for cheaper.
2. I heard AZ economy experience is pretty bad.

2. Cattle Class is Cattle Class.

Worth wasting SPG for that?

I kinda disagree... 65k SPG gets you 2 RT flights with AA. Thats 32.5 SPG PP RT.
Pretty good if you ask me

My friends when talking about best way to book shouldn't we mention if there is YQ or not?
Yes AF/AZ might be 50k rt, but you fail to mention ~300EUR YQ
