Recent success stories of booking round trip tickets to India with points? I have to fly at the end of the month and think I’ll be forced to use the AMEX portal for the tickets as opposed to an airline transfer. I’ve tried redemption searches on ANA, Aeroplan, Etihad, KLM/Airfrance, Cathay. ORD—>BOM

AA has good deals for booking on Qatar codeshares but inventory is very limited.
UA is pretty much dynamic redemption don't see any good value there.

Econ or biz? Looks like there are a lot of availability for econ on United so it should be bookable via ana (and aeroplan)

Amex is doing transfer bonuses all month so take that in to consideration as well. Possibly looking in to a positioning flight at another airport in a major city/hub for India flights.

Suggest using Point.Me advisor to find you a deal optimizing burn rate. Those guys have never disappointed me but inventory to DEL/BOM will be very limited on EK, EY, QR, etc. You’ll likely need to connect through LHR on another carrier and taxes will be undesirable.

Thanks all, will give these searches a go. Appreciate the spitballing

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
