No seriously, I meant Anchorage - what is their airport code? :confused: |

BA to Asia
A great award that remains today is the British Airways redemption of 80,000 miles on Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong in business class. This is even better if you're transferring AMEX MR to BA during their recent 1 to 1.5 promotion

And, it works out to a value of about $.05/mile (assuming a $3100 RT B fare SFO-ZRH,) I usually pay $600 RT coach, (though last one was $300 SFO-FRA,) making the 50k miles worth $2500.

AA is even better, no YQ on it. FYI, this thread is 4.5 years old...
|
Another good deal? 6000 LAN points for a sub-500km one way redemption- that's only 2400 SPG points (transfer at 2:5 prorated from 20000 point transfer)

JFK-ATL on BA Miles
For any short haul (<650 mi) flight on AA it takes just 4500 Avios (BA Miles).

Business Class to Europe - 25k one way
Flying Blue 25,000 mile one-way North America to Europe in business class promo award. The cities change every two months, but I recently flew Air Europa from Madrid to Miami in business class for 25,000 miles (transferred from Amex Membership Rewards) and ~$100 in fees. Tip: Flying Blue classifies Tel Aviv as a part of Europe, so these promo awards apply to Tel Aviv travel as well.
