Do you have any suggestions on which programs I should focus on for getting the award travel?
I am essentially happy to fly whatever airline.
So you want an award flight in business class
SEA-BZE in about 12 months time?
Have you looked at which airlines fly that route? [Put "SEA BZE" in google]
And then if those airlines are frequent flyer partners of other airlines?
Do you have any ff miles now? Which airline?
Credit card points that can be transferred to a ffp?
Awards start to become available 353/330 days out (depends on the airlines/ffp's)
Getting to a warm location in winter on ff miles is hard. People will start to be looking now and will book as soon as a award redemption shows.
I suspect you are about 1 year late in starting collecting ff miles (unless you have a lot banked now)
