Am considering pulling the trigger on 4 saver award seats for summer of 2021 and knew I would find a thread on point!
Until this year this would be a no-brainer an easy decision, as it is usually impossible to find 4 saver award business class seats on a TATL nonstop. But I will have to transfer valuable Chase UR points and would prefer not to have miles stuck in UA if we are forced to cancel due to COVID. Of course, that's not a terrible worse case scenario, as I have lifetime UA status and miles don't expire (at least until the airline does).
Is this an easy call or should I be hesitant to book anything 11 months out?
