Due to various circumstances I’m ending up with about a week of unallocated time off for the year. My wife isn’t so fortunate, but has given me dispensation to take a solo trip (she’s a keeper!)…as long as I avoid places she wants to see.
So, to add some details…
1. What route are you looking for? Asia (not Japan, China, Thailand) or Europe (Eastern Europe or Germany are good; most countries off-limits to me if I want to avoid spousal ire).
2. What dates do you want to travel (mention how flexible you are)? Approx 1 week, in November (preferred) or October.
3. Do you want to fly first, business, or coach? (maybe also "are you willing to fly coach for a positioning flight") First (preferred) or business.
4. How many passengers? 1.
5. How many points do you have, in which programs?
Approx 150K UA miles (willing to spend up to 175K for an aspirational experience).
Approx 150K UR points (willing to spend up to 175K for an aspirational experience).
My departure airport is SFO, and I’m looking for ideas of first class (or business class) routes that tend to have good availability, to destinations where a week off can be a nice trip. Interests when I land are history (museums, landmarks), nature, and dining. Nightlife and shopping are low priority.
Currently toying with the idea of SQ F awards to ICN and/or SIN (aspirational flights); or UA to Europe.
Thank you VERY MUCH in advance for suggestions!
