Hi guys! Huge opportunity just came along and I'm planning a trip, woot! I'm leaving in SIX DAYS.
I have 130,000 american airlines air miles. Looks like it would take 25,000 miles plus $86.50 in fees for the trip vs $285 cash for the round trip flight. I feel like cash may be a better value here, but I'm torn. Any ideas/hacks for getting each way for less than 12,500 miles? Sadly, there are no airports near my location that qualify for the Reduced mileage award.
Thanks!
