An update...
Hi All,
here is an update, and a bit of new info.
I'm flying NYC-HNL(stop)-SEA(stop)-NYC later this month on a DL award that cost me 135k miles. As a lowly Gold Medallion I'd have to pay $150/ticket to cancel but I think it's worth it, with the following theory (all miles per person, in J):
1. EWR-HNL, nonstop, UA (40k)
2. HNL-SEA, 1 stop, AS (25k Avios)
3. SEA-JFK(stop)-LIM (60k AA)
4. LIM-JFK (60k AA).
The only question outstanding is whether there is a published fare from SEA-LIM and whether I fall within the fare rules/MPM. If so, for my HNL/SEA trip and LIM trip, instead of 135k+100k=225, I'm looking at 185k, and even lower if I can find a sAAver award back from LIM.
Thanks for your help all!
