69k SQ or 82.5k AC. You will pay YQ on both.

Sorry wasnt thinking. Was thinking SPG to Marriott to UA Nights and flights. But thats too much SPG unless you have 40k UA sitting around on top of that. 75k SPG will get you 2 on A3 plus YQ. I dont know How many LM you would need for that redemption.

Yeah. I recommended nights and flights as well
Thanks for your help
I think LM is 79K. Probably easier just to do United

No availability though. Do they open up premium class closer to the flight ?
 Any option with elal ? Elal is showing availability.
