American. Good redemption with Qatar and Etihad.

Just did this. Live in an AA hub city and spent 70K each way miles for flights to and from the Middle East in biz class. The leg home was on Etihad in biz. Were there cheaper redemptions out there? probably, but I had a glut of AA miles but not on other airlines.

Alaska

United

I think American is better but United isn't bad for redemption on LH and Swiss

In terms of redemption United is far superior

D2: I respect the fear that dynamic pricing brings, but 250K points for a one way J ticket would be insane.

Surely not Delta Skypesos

You can probably get some points. Be aware that American tends to have mor delays than Delta so switching won’t help. It’s also a much suckier airline in general. At least 60%of my AA flights are delayed in a year
