Confused about required amount of miles to travel
I am confused about how many miles it takes to travel to different destinations. I have a lot of miles with AA, United, and Delta and sample miles for destinations do not seem to match up when I actually try to redeem miles. For instance, a roundtrip USE<-> SE Asia sample is 80,000 miles but when I go to redeem it is 115,000 + $115 each way. This has occurred on a number of occasions when I actually go to redeem miles for an international flight. Am I doing something wrong? I am newer to redeeming miles in this manner. Your insight is appreciated.
