From Norway to Orlando
Hi,
I need to fly to Orlando, FL from Bergen, Norway on June 16th.
What do you recommend I do to save money?
The cheapest flight I could find was $673 via Iceland Air to Newark and then I'd have to take something like Jetblue to get to Orlando for about $160.
From Oslo its about $541 but I'd have to get to Oslo from Bergen, which is $70 and add 2 hours of flight time.
Considering I have 25,000 miles in my US Airways account, and they're a part of One World and Star Alliance, what creative routes could I take so that most of that $833 (total from Bergen, Norway to Orlando) is "subsidized" by my miles?
I'm open to flying to other cities in order to take partner airlines.
Thanks in advance!

US is not in Star Alliance anymore, only in One World. BA has direct flights from Bergen to London, so I would check whether it was possible to use your miles on them. Any one-ways bought with cash BGO-MCO are very expensive, but perhaps you might have luck with miles.

US doesn't offer one-way rewards, at least on their metal.
That said, The cheapest one-way domestic award is 12,500 miles. Cheapest one-way TATL is 30K miles.
Additionally, the taxes and fees, because you are within the "quick-ticket" gouge timeframe will be $110, minimum.
Beyond that, have a look in the US forum for OW options, but I doubt you will have much success. Good Luck!
