is for ONE WAY travel.
If I want to go to Europe and take Iberia (IB) on business class it would 50K to europe from North America and then another 50K miles to return from North America. Right? I thought it was only 50K roundtrip, which I believe I was incorrect about
TL;DR
So USA to Europe on partners business roundtrip is 100K miles? not 50k like I idiotically believed?
Yes, you are correct: it's 50K miles each way in Business using AA's one-way awards. However, depending on where you are starting from in the U.S. (and where you are going in Europe), you might be able to get the roundtrip for 90K miles -- or even 80K miles -- by using a distance-based Explorer award, which requires that you use at least
two of AA's oneworld partners.
