First Time Redemption?
 

Wow...learning allot about this process. Have about 180,000 in US Airways FFP

Looking for 2 tickets. See that the following appears to be available.

deaprture: EWR(CO)-->YUL(AC)-->BRU(SN)-->FCO

return: DBU(OU)-->ZAG(OU)-->FRA(LH)-->JFK

First, I'll try calling today to book this. Should the above be 60,000 miles per tickets?

Any ideas about the taxes, fees, etc I might have to pay

Thanks

Wish I could be more helpful, but...If you're cashing in US miles for this, you might get the best responses at the US forum. Since you can't post the same question twice in FT, you could delete your post here (well, at least the text though not the title) and re-post there.

It would be 60k in Y but please don't do this. Give yourself a much better experience and use the double miles promotion on purchasing miles to get the extra 20k ($323) so you have 200k overall and fly business.

I would recommend LX from JFK-ZRH-FCO and DBV-ZAG-ZRH-JFK. LX has seats which can be reclined into fully flat beds on this route.

You will be glad you spent the extra $166 per person

Your taxes for your suggested flights would be $124.75 per person. You also have to pay a $50 booking fee with US.
