  • Description

    Get Ready To Make Some Noise!

    Julie and Paul need business class return flights on points and miles for their Rugby World Cup 2023 trip, with only 2 months until kick-off.

    Due to the short notice, Rugby World Cup being a major sporting event and airline recovery post-Covid, the cash price for return flights from Sydney to Europe in business class is more than AUD 15,000 per person, 50% more than normal.

    They require a flight from Sydney to France or nearby that allows them to be in Lyon by September 16 2023. They also require a return flight to Sydney from anywhere in Europe on or around October 30 2023.

    Julie has 1,756,000 American Express Membership Rewards (Ascent Premium) points and 302 Virgin Australia Velocity Frequent Flyer Velocity Points.

    Paul has 402,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer Qantas Points.
