On the dates I want, it looks like I can fly STL-DEL in first class and back in business class. I am short 38k miles. Looks like I can buy 38k miles for $900.

If this is all correct, I can fly round trip for $900. Does that sound correct?

I'm not seeing any great itinerary options though... for example if I fly on BA on Nov 7 the best I can find (through AA redeem miles search) is STL-LGA-YYZ-LHR-DEL. Not ideal.

Any other suggestions?
