Is 75k American Airlines miles and $75 a good deal for Central America in December? Flight would have been a little less than $700

It's the 75k miles that's bad.

Still steep but oh well. Was more disappointed at the fact that my balance went below 200k 😅

Best way to know is to book same flight next year and compare the cost ;)

I've found plane tickets to Central America in the $450-$550 range. Pays to buy early. But 700 is not so bad.

You always pay for more for booking a little later. That's expected and typical. Don't feel. As. Enjoy your vacation

^dont feel bad*

I can get trip to Germany for 60k which normally cost 1,100 to 1,300 at least. 75k seems high

That seems steep. I used delta miles to fly to South Africa. Flight was $2100 and only 130000 miles. Went from NC to FL this year too. Flight was $480 and miles were 19000

Different program; not comparable

I got a 7.5k mile "refund" so now it's at 67.5k miles. Which is still steep but I am booking only 1 month out around the busiest time for travel

Bad deal
