Help please. Best route to Florida. Pointswise
« on: July 14, 2013, 02:47:54 PM »
So I have to get to Florida, traveling with my wife and 15m old.

I have plenty of SPG and MR points.

BA has no availability for my dates. So I won't transfer there.

What is my second best option.? Using which points and which airline to transfer to.

Thank you

Child will be on lap.

How much are tickets the dates you're looking for?

First off, did you make sure to search all airports in the region? MIA, FLL, PBI etc. Make sure to search AA.com for award availability to all those airports as well.

See if you can get delta's low level availability, which wouldn't be the worse use of Sky Pesos. Additionally check out Dan's post on using Singapore miles (a MR transfer partner) for domestic tickets on United.
