Using AMEX Rewards to Maldives in Business Class
Hi there – I’d like to know the best way to get to the Maldives from the US in Business Class. In the past, I have purchased economy tickets on Emirates and upgraded (using miles) to Business Class. I would like to explore doing this ( on any airline ) by just using miles. I’m comfortable on how to transfer AMEX Reward points straight to an airline that flies to the Maldives, but not so sure how to do this to an airline that doesn’t fly there (but a partner airline does).
Thank you – Mark
