Has anyone had any experience of booking points to go to New Zealand. On the booking site it only allows you to book for cash. Am I missing something or can it only be done through Flying Club. We are looking at routing out through either SFO or LAX on VS.
A forum search will turn up many posts answering your exact question
but:
Economy or Biz? there's a big difference.
Economy is possible,
Biz is very very hard.
You need to call to book, be flexible, and do it many months ahead.
It is possible. Have done it twice myself in Business, with VS miles. 2 pax both times.
