Best CC way to get from STL to Banff, BC?
Hi all,
What's the best card to get for a flight from STL to Banff, BC? What's the best airport to fly into?
The date would be early June 2015 for a total of 2 people ages 28/35 (honeymoon).

Banff is in Alberta, not BC. Calgary is the nearest major city/airport. Your most convenient connections will be on United/Air Canada or Delta. Chase cards accrue miles you can transfer to United. Certain Amex cards accrue miles you can transfer to Delta. Most of those cards will have sign up/minimal spend level bonuses. Also, check the prices to just buy your tickets. They shouldn't be that expensive.

While in Banff, I suggest you and your fiancée both get the the Chase Fairmont card and try to use your 4 free nights plus breakfasts at the Banff Springs Hotel. Absolutely beautiful and iconic location. Royal families and A-List celebs stay there regularly.
