Hi- I need some advice. I have a family bar mitzva in March in Miami. BH we are 7 so finding award tickets is already harder. I was able to get an AA flight with Avios for the way there. However there are no award flights for Sunday or Monday on the way back. Staying until Tuesday is not an option. There are also no reasonable United or Delta awards from ORD to FLL or MIA. I found a Jet blue flight for Sunday night- Should I lock in at $215 pp using UR points (I have SR card) or should I hold out for an award ticket or cheaper flight? $215 is the cheapest so far. We don't travel much so I don't know how the pricing/availability works. TIA- any advice is greatly appreciated.

I would lock in at 215, not worth the risk for 7 pax.
Always praying for delayed baggage.

I am flying from ORD to PTY in Jan with 6 passengers, AA has cheapest flights for 30k. What are the best credit cards to open to get 180k AA miles?

If I book FLG-PHX-CLT-LGA using AA miles, will AA allow me to do standby for PHX-EWR?

Did you check the round trip cash price?  One ways are often more expensive than half a round trip.

Not with B6 although they do have HC which probably won't help much here.

I'm reposting from the award thread (wasn't sure where to put it)

I need some help here i have a flight that I want.
United Miles
AUG 1

DFW-EWR (With a stop in IAH)

DFW-IAH 535AM-6:39AM

IAH-EWR 12:15PM-4:55PM

This flight does not show up on united.com only the 9:50am to IAH shows up. I called and they are saying they have to book it as a multi city because the connection is longer then 4 hours is this true? What about booking the later flight to IAH then switching it?

TIA

If I'm booked on a United Flight (JN Class) IAH-EWR in POLARIS Business (UA 748) Can i get into the polaris lounge with that? Does the flight have to be international?
