Best itinerary: east coast USA to Scotland
Would appreciate any tips, hints or suggestions for the best itinerary for this trip.
Family lives in Washington, DC, and we need to visit one set of in-laws in Buffalo, NY for Christmas. We then have a wedding in Edinburgh to attend Jan 5. One spouse has approx 190K miles on United, the other spouse has about 90K miles on US. We also have a toddler and intend to all fly together.
Looks like we can fly to either Glasgow or Edinburgh via Newark. A route from Toronto-Edinburgh costs around the same in miles as EWR-EDI would--but, that puts us back in Toronto, and on our return journey, we don't need to go to YYZ; we need to go to one of the DC area airports.
Any good suggestions for a cost/miles effective way to route this? Can we combine miles?
