Would getting the Chase Marriott 100K X4 = 400K get me to the SR BOB for a few nights? just called SPG they want 95K per night for the BOB SR and book 4 nights get the 5th night free.

Or what is a good strategy to get a points property in  BOB? intercontinental is not easy
Ha, you'd barely get 1 night for 400K.

95K SPG = 285K MT

Remain to be seen if the collective will get the opportunity to redeem for SR BOB and like hotels for 60K MT come August.

And at that rate, good luck finding nights with availability.

Last I checked, they were upgrading DIAs to OWB from regular rooms.

Should be 110K in economy RT - http://www.awardhacker.com/#f=Los%20Angeles&t=PPT&o=0&c=y&s=0&p=0 or 230K in business RT per this link. Highest mileage cost compared to other airlines for the same flight.

Thanks for the link, I rather use flying blue miles (and I don't think the price there is correct for AF miles it's more like 85K RT, not 60k) but not sure how to check if AF will have access to the JFK-LAX leg...

Does AA start opening up availability closer to flight time for LAX-PPT for either Y or J?

Then the question is flawed, as AA doesn't control TN award availability.

Either way, the answer is no.

I apologize for the flawed question. I assumed that when I mentioned AA that those who have flown or looked into flying to PPT would understand my question. But, I guess not...

Is this from your own experience? Because EF seems to show a lot more availability for the upcoming week. Whereas, as expected, looking out a month there is barely any availability.

Who am I to argue with EF? If it shows, then perhaps things have changed. Dunno.
