Cheapest BWI - SEA HELP

Hi Everyone-

I want to go to seattle for an unplugged concert Dec 2- Dec 5 and was wondering what is the best -cheapest way to get there. There are 2 of us and I prefer to fly non stop and have the following status and points. Also, I searched and see economy tickets for $300ish. Not sure if using points is worth it.

American Airlines - 25k points
Chase - 35k points
SPG - 30k
United - 0 but could get credit card
Delta - 0 but could get credit card
Alaska - 0 but could get credit card

$300 roundtrip is a great deal. You're not going to do much better than that.

As this is not specific to any particular airline, it has been moved to the Information Desk forum.

(bolding mine)

Today is October 6.

If you mean Dec 2nd 2016, you don't have enough time to apply for the above cards, get approved (if eligible), meet the spending requirements (when applicable), then find available award seats & book it all in fewer than 2 months. To say the least, that's not any cheapest option.

Lesson for the day, don't count the chicken when you don't even have an egg (aka 0 balance and no card at hand) when you have a timetable like that.

Welcome to FT!

It must be 2016 as tickets for Dec 2017 are not being sold yet.
