Think you may have missed one little extra thing with Ethiad: they have a partnership with American Airlines with a fixed award chart. Great for short-haul economy bookings- usually around 6000 points!
This is true! Thanks for adding this! Just beware of their cancellation/refund policy! It’s explained a bit more in depth in this article: awardwallet.com/blog/etihad-guest-refund-policy/
That’s a great duo to have. I’ve got the Denver capital one lounge on my list, it keeps escaping me 😂. Capital One’s one of my favorites for flights, keep me posted on what yall end up booking! And lmk if you’ve got any questions
The answer could vary depending on where you’re trying to go. International or domestic? First choices that come to mind include: Virgin Atlantic, Flying Blue, Avianca. - Turkish Airlines if you’re talking domestic Economy.
Virgin Atlantic is great if you can find their saver pricing to the UK. They’ll have other destinations if you find KLM/Air France availability on Virgin Atlantic Flying Blue is good to get to anywhere in Europe. That emirates sweet spot to Milan or Athens from JFK is great as well. Singapore Airlines can be okay, their points price is just okay, but their fees are really low. Get to Singapore from several airports, plus their LAX-NRT. They have JFK-FRA route as well but there’s typically cheaper points prices for economy when getting to Europe. British Airways will sometimes have okay redemptions. With economy you’ll just want to compare it to the cash price because sometimes it won’t always be a good deal if there’s an alternative cheap flight deal
You mentioned Qantas. I just helped 2 friends get from CLT to MAD for 68,400 Qantas pts + $253 each, flying AA. I thought it was a decent deal because they didn’t have to spend extra time or money repositioning. What do you think? Also, are Flying Blue stopovers as good as Aeroplan’s? Always enjoy your videos! Thx!
That doesn't sound bad if that's all there was available. I definitely get the desire to have it all on one ticket versus needing a separate positioning flight, I'm assuming that's for one-way business class? Flying Blue stopovers are nice because they're free, but the bad thing about it is that you need to call, and see if they can do it, I haven't done it yet so I don't have first-hand experience but from what I understand your stopover flight also needs to be saver award space which may or may not be that easy. With Air Canada, it will cost you 5k points, but many times you can book it online.

Thanks for this. My wife just got the VX and the Savor. We like the C1 lounges in DEN and DFW (best) but haven't transferred to partners yet.
