Trip of a Liifetime

[Blurto]

Hello everyone. Plannng trip to Ireland in 18mths, saving QFF points for ten years through shopping and they’re not worth anything anymore.
When our carer responsibilities have finished I hope to have the best advice to maximize what is now a meager count [245000].
Look forward to exploring the knowledge at AFF!

Welcome to AFF.

Still plenty of value in QFF points if you know how to use them.

From the use of "our" assuming 2 or more passengers?
Getting classic awards (not classic plus) can be a challenge, but not always impossible. Need to be flexible with route out, route back and dates. No need to book as a return.
A cash paid flight to/from Asia and then award Asia-Ireland-Asia works for some.

A lot of reading to do on AFF. If you go an AFF social gathering or dinner may get more advice. Not everything is published on line.

Thank you Mwenenzi, I have toyed with a similar idea. Uncertain about playing the system to get the best experience. I will dive into the relevant subs!!
