Where is the right thread to ask what the best way to book a flight to a destination using miles is?
I know where I can find trip reports and notes on where to eat and stay but not how to best book. Background is I need to fly out to the west coast for a week going NYC->LAX->SFO->NYC for a couple of important business meetings. It won't be too much work so I'd like to take my wife and potentially one or more kids along. I have about 160k chase points and 120k american points and 55k united points, all earned within the last 4 months. I want to know if its worth using the miles in this case or paying cash?
I don't mind to pay for my ticket as its under the company and we can take the deduction but would be nice to take my wife and at least 1 of the kids whom we promised to take to disneyland along with us.
