Advice: SFO to Cancun
A friend just informed me that he's going to get married in cancun in Nov. What airline miles is the best redemption to cancun in terms of the least amount of miles and availability? I've got miles all across various programs and CC. Thx

It looks like all saver flights are gone. Tix are 600 vs 60k miles on non-saver.
I'll have to look into Delta and see if they fly there. I've got 50ks which i probably won't use otherwise.
I'll check the prices on virgin. Don't have any miles with them though. I'd hope to be able to get there fro 25k miles but it doesn't look like there's any other options.

SFO to Cancun
Look for Avios to use on AA. I went from DFW to CUN for 15000 miles round trip but you need Saver availability. It will probably cost you 25000 from SFO but still not bad.

Probably 35k actually. 15k for DFW-CUN and 20k for SFO-DFW. BA unfortunately prices awards by segment, not by origin to destination distance.
