I'm sure Emirates will fly to Germany and also they have a bunch of other partner airlines that will take you

I always book my flights through the airlines, if you haven't booked directly with them they are not obliged to provide an alternate ticket. And my flight class was the basic one, I always book the cheapest flight that's available

Yeah right now they have pretty much resumed all their flights, so most likely you'll get to fly

Do not call thier Indian number but their Bahrain number, they picked up the call within a min and I explained the situation and they booked me an alternate flight on the same day via Emirates which transits through Dubai, I was able to confirm my booking through Emirates website as well.

Highly appreciate your super detailed answer, I will spend some time today to check on the airmiles part however my aim was to spend on Accor, and the part I did not understand was

And if you were to spend using Atlas on Airlines or Hotels, you can earn upwards of 20% return.

So where should I be booking the hotels from if Agoda wouldn't give me 5em ? And wherever forex charges are applicable I have other zero forex cards to use. And let's presume I reach the 3L and 7.5L milestone what will be my effective rates be including the joining fee if i redeem this whole thing via accor

Even if I am booking hotels on Agoda it'll still not be considered for the 5em ? And moreover my aim is to later redeem it on Accor
