Advice for booking BOS-LAX F award ticket
Looking to use up some miles on a quick weekend BOS-LAX r/t August 9-11 for the pops birthday. Right now all flights are pricing out at 80k miles, however, I'm trying to get a connection through JFK to try the BE product. That's pricing out at 95k miles r/t.
Is it always 95k miles or is it possible to ever get F on the JFK-LAX flights for anything lower?

Sounds like you have Medium First Class (40k) in one direction and Medium Business Elite (55k) in the other direction.
You can get B/E domestic for 60k roundtrip at low. (Good luck)

That's really odd...the highest it shows on the chart you posted is 70k miles, yet the lowest i'm seeing for BOS-LAX even with connections (MSP, MEM, DTW, ATL) is all 80k...? What gives?
