HI! We would like to plan a trip to Russsia this Summer to go to Lubavitch and Rostov and maybe stop in a different country on the way back. We have 66,000 Chase Saphire points right now which can be transferred to United miles or Avios or others. What is the best value if we want to get the most out of our points (we may have a little more when it comes a little closer).  We have enough for a one way ticket to Russia or Rostov. We don't mind going one way through Prague, Ukraine or Slovakia.  Money is an issue and we want to be frugal. We have somewhere in Moscow to stay as well as someone to drive us to Lubavitch.

What is your recommendations?

Thanks again!

your best option would probably be to either book through Chase with a sapphire Reserve card or to sell your points and use that money to book a ticket
