We will use miles to fly. On American you might find a one way flight to Orlando for 25k for coach AND 25K for a first class mile saver. I think it is very hard to find mile saver on coach in the summer to Orlando. So if you are going to pay 25k might as well fly first class!
And if you do get a mile saver FC ticket on American you can fly non-stop and your luggage is also free!!
Sometimes we don't even use miles for roundtrip. We might buy a one way ticket and then use miles for the return....just depends on pricing!
The OP does not have AA miles; he has Chase points which can be converted to
BA miles. BA miles can be redeemed for AA award seats that are available as MileSAAvers, but not for AAnytime award seats. And BA charges
37,500 miles for a one-way First Class award from DFW to MCO, so that would be a pretty poor redemption value.
