- Charges are actually not so bad if you stick to AA metal (or AS in US). For example, milesAAver SEA-JFK-MXP award in J for the middle of February is 115,000 miles
+ $60.23.
Try booking two awards and two coach tickets on AA through Chase portal and than apply SWUs. The latter is of course a lottery.
