Hi all. I'm trying to book a trip to Europe, possibly Paris for sometime in the fall using a Marriott Hotel (5 night package, I'm Platinum Elite). I would like to fly business class to Europe from New York/ Newark but the airline point requirements to book are astronomical. What is the best way to arrange the airfare so that I can use points to upgrade to business class? What airline would I have the best chance of doing this on? Since I can choose many different airlines with the travel package (and could probably supplement any additional points needed with Amex Rewards points for some airlines that participate in that program...ie. other than United) what would be the best strategy to do this? Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
