Hello Everyone*>
For a flight MEX-PTY BOOKED with miles through United Mileage plus program Operated by Copa airlines.
I've found a 15k +75$ [taxes] [[now is 18k ] but a friend who sells tickets using miles programs offered me same flight same route same airline for $270 cash for MEX Pty on business class b738 copa. Or 200$ cash on economy.
what worth better? Spend 15k united mileage plus 75$ or pay a business class

With him I cant move date. Fees 120$

With my actual ticket I can cancel and miles come back on account t and money back to the creditcard used.

So 15k 75$ economy =<> 270$ executive no change.

It's like a comparision of 15k to 200$ worth? I dont think I need to change the date of the flight.

Any help. Very THVNK YOU

This sounds like a mileage broker, and they are illegal for most mileage programs.

Mileage broker, that's a new one to me. I wouldn't book through anyone other than yourself. Too many things can go wrong. But that's just my opinion.

How much (cash) is the ticket not going with the "friend"? Find that number and compare it to 15K miles. How many miles is a biz class ticket vs cash price? I think you should look at those numbers before thinking about your friend.

. Thank you for your opinion sounds logic. Normal price is 460 ow mex pty and 540 rt.540now for that date is 18k miles. I booked with 15k ... plus u7s$5 taxes

I think better remainall with my personal miles

If the "friend" gets caught, his bookings will get canceled and his clients stranded wherever they happen to be when he gets busted.

Booking with your own miles is the right call. For United, I look for around 2 cents a mile on any short simple booking like this, so in my book you did well with your miles.
