Summary
The Points Guy highlights that the same flight can cost drastically different amounts of miles depending on which airline program is used to book it. Three examples show how booking through partner programs can save miles: Delta flights booked through Virgin Atlantic Flying Club or Flying Blue, JetBlue Mint business class flights booked through Qatar Airways Privilege Club or Etihad Guest, and American Airlines flights booked through Atmos Rewards. Using transferable credit card points and tools like Seats.aero and Points Path can make the process easier.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Delta flights can be booked through Virgin Atlantic Flying Club or Flying Blue for fewer miles. JetBlue Mint business class flights can be booked through Qatar Airways Privilege Club or Etihad Guest for fewer miles. American Airlines flights can be booked through Atmos Rewards for fewer miles. Transferable credit card points and tools like Seats.aero and Points Path can help find the best deals. Booking the same seat can cost 220,000 fewer points.
And, of course, you still need to pay for the Wi-Fi.
