Cheapest miles from Midwest to Vancouver
I'm trying to get my family of 7 from Sioux Falls, SD TO Vancouver for a Disney Alaska Cruise. Any advice on which airline would have best availability for so many people and be reasonable would be appreciated.
Sioux Falls has service from AA, Delta,United, Frontier and Allegiant. I have 500k UR, 300k MR, 300k AA, 100k avoid, 150k SPG. The cruise will be May 2017 so I'm guessing I'll need to look for availability a year out.
Thank you so much!!

(You'll likely see replies suggesting that you consider flying to Seattle-SEA or Bellingham-BLI as alternates to Vancouver-YVR, but I suspect with seven people the cost of ground transport from those airports to Vancouver will mitigate any cost savings you might see by avoiding flying over an international border.)

These may not be up to date, especially for AA. In a few months time other ffps may(will?) change award cost.
They do not list taxes & carrier imposed surcharges. Does not include all airlines like AS.

IMO getting everyone into ground transportation from SEA or BLI will be a hassle.
So with that said, it simply becomes a matter of getting onto the various airline points booking sites and seeing what's available on the various carriers.
