@rams Was that Amex MR points per person?
Sorry that was 130,500 Krisflyer one way each (LHR to Melbourne and Sydney to LHR – Perth is less for example). Unfortunately MR transfer rate was devalued a few years ago so it’s 3MR for 2 Kris flyer miles. Whereas HSBC is 1 mile per £ spent (with occasional transfer bonus). Marriott is 1 mile per 3 points with 5k bonus miles for every 60k Marriott points converted.
The most efficient way cost ways is via HSBC but unfortunately didn’t have enough points.
