Have you checked availability yet? It can be pretty scarce during the summer
For instance, there is not a single available direct flight NYC-mia the first week in July (I didn't check more but in assume it's more of the same)

Just checked this - NYC-Miami AA availability is nil end of july/beginning of august. Any ideas? Should I flip my entire itinerary around and start in yvr?

Amtrak. Prices vary by date, but yeah, it aint cheap. Consider gas, tolls, and parking. And you might be able to fly back to NY.

IIRC u can include an amtrak leg in a UA award

Only certain Amtrak legs, and I'm not sure how you'd book it (probably needs to be booked by phone).

Andaz WeHo or SLS (SPG) are best properties in LA on points.

Westin LAX if you can get C&P is best value.

Thanks! I'm looking for something not too expensive, where I'll get some bennies and the possibility of an upgrade with the statuses I have.

Can a hotel manager open up C&P availability, or that only works for opening points availability?

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Probably better off with a 4k redemption at the westin or bidding on a 4 star at lax.

Westin LAX officially changed to Cat. 3 on 3/1/12.
You booked it after that date for 4K?
