Currently Platinum Medallion, looking to keep Platinum Medallion. i have the Delta Reserve Amex but I'm 11k away from the waiver. I'm a school teacher, so overall cost is most important. I'd prefer to do weekends only if possible, but can take off a Monday or Friday if needed. The wife would prefer I accomplish it in 2 weekends or less.
So far, the best option I've found is: MIA-CDG-SVO-CDG-MIA w/ 10hrs in Paris on AirFrance Business Class Z Fare. $1710. SVO-CDG is operated by Aeroflot, but I don't think that matters?
Can anyone find something less expensive for my goals? Thanks in advance to everyone giving their time and expertise to laypeople like me.
Can anyone find other options?
