I am in a bit of a pickle also with my 318k points expiring in April 2022 transferred before last amex 50% devaluation. So no extension from my understanding.
I live in WA so there also border concerns at this stage. I do have roughly 200k amex ascent points (100k krisflyer) that I can transfer also.
There seems to be lots of people with points and not much saver fares available in F (how is it in J)?
I have been vaxed with AZ with my wife having pfizer. I have young kids that aren't approved for vaccination yet so I presume they won't be able to travel. Then there are quarantine requirements at the origin/transit and AUS/WA requirements whether it will be hotel or home for roughly 1 week to consider.
Any suggestions what to do or where to go? My understanding are awards are released 355 days in advance. If I book say 350 days out and say in 300days, can I change the dates to a further 350 days (t+650) from then if award space opens (for a fee)? A change of route or cancellation would mean loss of points I presume.
What a dilemma. Any worthwhile toasters or wine instead
