Best u transfer to Qatar Airways or Turkish Airlines. Between these two for Dubai, best is Qatar and best part is Qatar operating its first class seats to Dubai, n yes u can book that via miles. and book in advance for these miles tickets u will get btr deals with Qatar.
The only problem with Turkish is for booking multiple tickets. I doubt that it can be done on the website directly even after adding a family member as a co-traveller in your profile.
 
It actually depends if u r ok with economy tickets then yes.
As I told previously also, it’s very easy to get offers on Turkish airlines, around 20,000 Miles ( not ER points ) will get u one way economy tickets from Delhi or Mumbai to European countries.
That's my concern. Most of the good offers for Europe travel is mainly from Mumbai or Delhi.. hardly get many from Bangalore. Even the Vistara network is limited for Bangalore. And I perfectly fine with economy tickets l.

Will check krisflyer to check options. I was looking for flight tickets to any South Asian country for 2 adults and 1 kid.. can pay the shortfall with cash/card. Even Srilanka is fine 🙂

My wife will kill me if I go on business class alone so its important I am able to book 2 biz class tickets together 😛

So the best option so far for me is Etihad?
 
Is 40000-45000 edge points enough for a couple of flight seats from Bangalore (to outside India)? I don't think so, but want to get a confirmation.. if not, planning to put these in accor and enjoy a few days off in Goa.?

Any other suggestions?
Note: got Magnus in May end.

15K for Sri Lanka return flight from BOM via JAL + 7k taxes
 
Was looking at excluded services from earning reward points and milestone benefits on Magnus. The following is excluded:
  • Wallet Loads
  • Rent
  • Telephone bill payments
  • Internet bill payments
  • TV (DTH) Recharges and bill payments
  • Electricity, Gas and Water bill payments
  • Fine related payments
  • Tax Payments
  • Any other government services
Essentially all our needs are excluded. Axis just wants us to spend on movies, shopping and travel. Just trying to understand how can someone (an average Joe like me) spend 25L in a year with all these exclusions? Even with 1-2 foreign trips with family in a year, this looks like a difficult feat. And no renewal benefits add a literally shitty topping.

what about College fees payment??? Is it excluded too from September???
 
Has anyone got the monthly credits for July spends? It was to come in ER account by 10th Aug! Not sure, if axis is being proactive this time or not!

I think insurance is not excluded from milestone, only the points are capped.
