Last minute NYC to LAX
 

Hey Everyone,

I need help finding a last minute award flight. Thanks for your help!

From: NYC Airports
To: Los Angeles
Departure dates: June 23rd to June 27th -- Flexible
Return airports: Prefer to return to Washington DC but can go to NYC if have to
Return dates: July 1st to July 3rd -- Flexible
Class: Cheapest amount of miles
Seats: 2
Alliance/Airline: I have 108k BA miles and 80k Amex MR miles

Such simple request, why cant you attempt at it?

What have you found so far when trying to use your BA miles or Amex points?

Helpful to know what you have tried and found.

look on aa.com for saver awards....if you find it, book on ba w/avios...

Look at AA .com and look for saver seats. Can book with BA.

Look at United.com and look for saver seats. Can book with Aeroplan transferred from Amex (or with Singapore Krisflyer, though you'd have to call in to book and transfers can take a while, though my last MR->SQ transfer took only 2 hours). I believe SQ allows one-ways.

AA has Biz SAAver availability on JFK>LAX transcon on June 23/24.

AA also shows Coach SAAver availability on LAX>DCA on July 1.

Will cost you 25k Avios outbound and 12.5k inbound, for a total of 37.5k Avios.

Thanks for the advice guys. I am relatively new to this so I just wanted to get some ideas/input.

I found an AA flight on the 23rd business class to LAX for 25k miles and a return to DC on the 1st for 12.5k miles in coach. Is this considered a good deal?

25K for Business/First and 12.5K miles for coach are as low as you will find for transcon travel.
So yes, in mileage currency, those are good deals.

Book those immediately; you are not going to do better!

Well, 20K one-way business on United ps with Singapore miles, but that takes time to do the transfer and call up SQ, and OP doesn't have time on his side.

I've only done DL and AA biz transcon, both were great, don't know how UA's new ps stacks up.

OP -- what you found is great. Book them ASAP and enjoy your trip!

Note the taxes and fee for last minute award trips...just so you know what you're desling with

Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry: BlackBerry8530/5.0.0.1030 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/417)

No last-minute booking fees with BA Avios. Taxes should total about $5 for the JFK-LAX-DCA itinerary.

Missed that...thanks for clarifying

Which is a GREAT perk these days ^

I didn't do a price check, but it might make Sense to book a $元 ticket if the price is favorable.
