LON > SYD
Hi all,
I just wanted to get some of your opinions with using my Avios!
I currently have around 350k Avios + 30k Amex points I can convert too.
I have the BA Premium Amex and have a companion voucher up to business class.
I wanted to fly to Australia, ideally Sydney using my points for me and my partner and wanted it to be super special as I was hoping to propose!
I liked the idea of flying out to Sydney from LGW/LHR December 2027 and proposing new years in Sydney.
I know these will be incredibly difficult to book, so wanted to get some help/feedback.
I originally wanted to transfer my Avios to Qatar and fly via their QSuite but I have seen the flexi prices are double meaning I will need 700k points. I struggle to find the normal tickets even now let alone in December. Do you think it’s worth trying Qatar and flying via another airport such as Perth?
Alternatively should I try to book with BA? My concern is the cabins and service look a little dated from YouTube videos and I wanted this to be special given the circumstances and we likely will never get the chance to fly at this class again!
If it’s too unrealistic, should I aim for US flights instead? The goal is a nice holiday with a scenic location to propose and Sydney at new years seemed to tick a lot of those boxes and was on the bucket list.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
