my first award booking - advice?
Hi,
I'll be trying to book 2 biz award tickets from the US (west coast) to israel for next year (september). This will be my first time booking award tickets through MP.
I do have enough miles for both tickets on Business Saver, but would obviously like to minimize the price and have as many options as I can.
Are there any promotions I can look forward to? Does UA sometimes offer discounted (or 2-4-1) award tickets?
Looking at the current calendar, it looks like there are far more (and better) options when looking ~3 months ahead than for ~11 months ahead.
Since the planned flights are in the distant future (11 months), I can afford to hold on and wait for something better to show up.
Is this a wise plan, or should I just book when any flight become available?
Thanks.
