What’s the best way to book flights to Europe on points? I have status with AA and points with AA and Amex. Wondering if booking through a certain program other than AA is better?

Fly from a east coast city, like PHL or CLT into any of the AA hubs directly on AA metal, such as ZRH, AMS, or CDG. If you do fly through LHR, make sure it’s not BA metal so you don’t get hit with a ton of surcharges. I take this routing all the time, 57,500 miles one way in biz + $5.60 in fees.

Yea that’s available one way for my trip. Was debating paying $1100 for premium economy to hit plat pro for next year. Or just use miles

I find united’s redemptions quite good (almost all the time 30k points one way). American you can also find good deals (I think 25,000) but not that often.

Yea right now I’m finding a multi city fare of 30k each way.

Partner award with Iberia (AA miles)

Okay, so look up awards on Iberia versus AA?

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?
