Best way to use my miles

I have many miles and am thinking of using them gradually in 2024. What is the best way to get a high value for money? Should I look up flights and compare the EUR and Miles prices? What's a good "exchange rate"? Or is there another more efficient way? I probably will not make trips just to spend the miles, so the Promo Awards may not be the best option, although I don't really know. I had never used miles before for anything.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you,

Mike

Use them for Premium cabins...not Economy.

Do you mean to purchase Buinsess Seats directly? Or for upgrades?

As far as I'm concerned, promo awards and sometimes (definitely not always...) DoD upgrades are the best ways to spend FB miles.

Directly.

Using miles for upgrades is never guaranteed, and you end up paying almost as many miles as if you redeemed outright into business in the first place.
