Reply To: AMEX points to Emirates Skywards or Qatar Avios

I can’t comment on which scheme offers the better deal for miles+cash. If you are converting Amex points, both are a poor option. You’d be better placed using Amex points for something else, and the money saved can be used for flights.

An alternative approach might be to see where 48,000 Avios will take you in the direction of Australia — somewhere where flights to Perth might be cheaper, quicker or non-stop — and start your journey there.
