clicky: WWSND?
I'm flying up H's friend from SoCal for his birthday. I told his friend that I would pay for his tickets using my miles.
The flights that he wants to take are blacked out and (right now) it's about $300 round trip.

Re: clicky: WWSND?
His ideal (blacked out) flight leave SNA at about 6pm, but the one that I can get with miles leaves about 8pm.
this is totally reasonable.

This is a good point, but I hate, hate flying AA and it seems like that's the best carrier to book with to Europe for Alaska miles. Delta seems to have ridiculously long lay overs and that's no bueno.
I didn't realize it was so cheap to get to central and northern south america in the off season.... hmm.... Thanks for the tip.
Just to warn you, that's on AA, but if you REALLY hate them - splurge and do business class (60K miles each ticket). Their business class isn't too bad - we flew them to Buenos Aires and it was decent. Also, I wonder if AA won't be better now that they're fully integrated with Alaska's FF program? I hate them, too, but I guess I can tough it out for free tickets.
Also, to get to Europe from Seattle, you can fly on KLM, Air France, or British Airways, and now you can do Iceland Air as well. BA has high taxes associated with their flights, but H and I have done the KLM SEA-AMS flight on miles and the Air France SEA-CDG on miles (both times on 50K a ticket). The trick is (1) booking during the not-super-high-peak-season (i.e. book April or May; September after Labor Day, etc.), and (2) booking far in advance. I just think your miles will almost always net you a better return if you go internationally. Not to mention - if you book the ticket on a domestic airline and the fare goes on sale, you have 3 months with which to claim the difference as a travel credit (which can be used for anyone, as it won't be associated with your H's best friend's name). So, the $300 would be the max you'd pay, but you could always end up getting $$$ back if you watch the fare.
I think go with miles and he can pay if he wants go go another time!
I haven't done anything yet.
I had to actually *gasp* do some work.
showered? hooray!
Still not
