Yes, worth it. Go to London. That will get you there
Ok have figured out 10500 eqms for 730$ :first class ord to lax round trip
Atk 1: here's my logic, lmk what you think:
First: 4 systemwide upgrades: I do a lot of personal international travel so getting a first class upgrade on a 12 hour flight can be worth several grand per tic. Value to me : $2-4K
Second: first class upgrade priority meaning I'll have a pretty good shot at first class on all my domestic flights in the next year. Value to me $500 (arbitrary number)
Third: award miles bonus will increase by 50% over plat pro. I earned roughly 150k award miles this year (top of head estimate).. so with same travel next year anticipated, extrav 75k award miles. Conservative value of 1.5 cpm = $1125 value to me.
So I see easily over $1k in tangible benefits and $3-5k in less tangible benefits
Not bad. Make sure LHR-IST-LHR is booked as an AA flight # and not a BA flight # (it’ll be BA operated) as otherwise you’ll likely get screwed by lower earnings on discount BA tickets.
I’m at 90% for domestic upgrades as an EXP. Like Global Services at UA, CKs don’t make up a large % of the frequent flyer base.
Only if doing a route like LAX-LHR (approx 5,450 miles each way) unless OP is buying business. Otherwise need to do an Asia trip or at least four transcons.
Based in Chicago. So far, I found ORD-LHR-IST which is around 11k eqm's economy for 850$
Just curious, what is it about the benefits of exec platinum that make $730 worth spending to get there?
Check flyer talk, < 5 cpm is a good deal
I don't think London will get you there unless you fly business or are coming from the west coast. I would say it's worth it though. Do a few weekend mileage runs. Google flights' explore feature lets you select dates, price, and airline which is a great tool to find potential mileage runs
Yep, it was aa marketed so would rack at 1per mile in economy.
That's kinda expensive
There are cheap flights to Tokyo out of ORD
Lax to jfk round trip will get you 5k . Cost will be 2-300
With ck now the top dog - not sure how domestic upgrades you will get
Damn you lucky P2.
I fly a lot outside just Monday mornings and Thursday evenings, which helps with upgrade availability.
