Axis Atlas Transfer Points to Airline or Hotels

[aditya1497]

I have an Axis Atlas Credit Card. I am planning a Europe trip via Lufthansa or Etihad. I am planning to book tickets using Atlas Travel Edge Points. Which Airline Portal should I transfer my points to. If so in what ratio does these points get transferred. Should I transfer for airline or Accorr Hotels. Does Airlines have option of Paying partly by points and partly by cash. I am new in this. I need some help in this.

If you are new then I'll suggest transfer the miles to Accor. Accor has decent number of hotels in EU. Also you don't have to worry much about the conversion as it's 2000 All points = 40 Euros.
Atlas miles transfer in 1:2 ratio. Meaning for every edge mile you'll get 2 partner miles.
Airlines usually allow miles + Cash payment, but 99% of the times this will be the worst value for your miles.
Last year when I searched, turkish required lowest miles that was 19K miles + tax for one way ticket. Whereas the usual revenue rate was around 30-32K INR.
Airmiles generally offer great value for Business, PE bookings or upgrading cabin.
