Reward or Buy?
Hi, I am in need of some advice.
In March I need to go to NYC for a long weekend (from ZRH). I am a SEN. I would ideally like to have the return flight (NYC-ZRH) in C as I am going directly to work. I dont really care about the outbound as it is a day flight (and I can get an emergency exit seat - they're still available).
In your opinion, should I:
- Buy an economy class ticket (Cheap Y on outbound, Mid-priced Y on outbound to allow for upgrade) for 870 CHF and upgrade return with miles (50,000 miles).
- Get a Business Class reward (105,000 miles + 333 CHF in taxes).
I have enough miles (with the SEN overdraft) and have already re-qualified until 2015 (so don't really care about status miles).
Cheers!
