NYC-JRO-NYC
Hi All,
I hope this is the right place to post this question. If not, I can re-post in the Africa forum.
I am looking for some advice on the best way to uses miles in Economy RT from NYC to JRO in late August/early September.
I currently have:
United Miles: 30k
Chase Ultimate Rewards: 90k
Citi Thankyou: 135K
With my current research I am thinking that I will transfer 50K UR to United and book a saver award for 80k on Turkish Airlines (there seems to be decent availability open now).
Should I be thinking about any other solutions? Has anyone booked a similar award?
Thanks so much!

If you go to the star alliance website it will show you all possible routes from NYC airports to JRO. If doing Turkish I suggest a stopover in Istanbul as it is a great city.

The tip to go to the star alliance website was a great one. It looks like my only logical options are to fly via Istanbul or to go via Addis Ababa which would increase my options by also greatly increase my travel time.
Thanks again
