Award Ticket Success - "Almost" Low Tier

Hi Everyone,

I know that the award tix debacle comes up on here frequently. I had some relative success yesterday! I am flying to LAX in a couple of weeks over the 4th of July weekend and my best friend in ATL asked if she could head out. Tix were $500ish, which was a little steep for the weekend, so I looked into miles tix for ATL-LAX-ATL.

The lowest was 32,500 miles (direct to LAX, connecting on the return) and 40,000 to avoid connections. While this is not the lowest 25K miles, I did not think 32.5k was bad for a ticket to SoCal over the summer and on a long weekend (Fri-Sun travel).

"Those" tix might really be out there...lol.

cheers,
robin
