Best redemption NYC-DEN?
« on: April 26, 2012, 12:00:03 PM »
Just want to make sure I don't overlook something.

What's the best way (redemption wise) to go to DEN for a weekend wedding?

I'd prefer non-stop (unless doesn't make sense points wise), and to leave Sunday night red-eye.

Well, I can fly EWR-ORD-DEN on AA for ~9700 Avios (reflecting 50% MR bonus), but I'd need a different route home because AA doesn't have non-stop red-eye which I need.

Well, for a non-stop red-eye, I'm looking at either UA, US, or B6, apparently.

US does not fly DEN-NYC nonstop.

You're right; seems like a UA codeshare.

Yeah, seems like you're right.

I'm thinking just purchase a non-stop LGA-DEN on FL for $130, and B6 for the redeye. I have some 11,000 odd points expiring in 3 days on B6 anyway.

Seem about right? Doesn't make sense to redeem for $130 flight, no?
