JFK to PEK A350 economy or 767 DL Comfort?
I need to go to Beijing in May for of all things a bachelor party and I'm struggling between a couple flight options. I'm platinum medallion and have the DL platinum amex.
1. $970 economy on the A350 pay with 95k miles to still get MQMs
2. $970 economy on 767 through SEA pay with 95k miles and hopefully get upgraded to DL comfort
3. 65k-70k miles in economy on either of the planes from options 1 & 2 but loose out on MQMs.
4. 116k miles for premium select on an A350
I'm leaning option 2 so I get the MQMs and at least be in DL comfort. But then I got an email from DL yesterday offering a 10% mileage credit for any award tickets bringing option 3 & 4 down 10%.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
