I debated using AA for this redemption, which would have only cost 135k AAdvantage miles, instead of the 120k Dividend miles + 20k Avios I used to get to Yangon. The big caveat, however, is that US Airways still allows you to route through Europe to get to Asia, AND there is currently a glitch where they are not levying a fuel surcharge on British Airways award redemptions. So, in the end, I felt like it made more sense to go with US Airways. As of now, I think their award chart is still more generous... however, that may change at any time.gluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826166674389864715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023034306897231585.post-88025262292421505372014-04-12T01:14:25.850-07:002014-04-12T01:14:25.850-07:00What a dream itinerary!

There are still a few business and first award seats scattered about... as long as you are flexible with your dates.gluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826166674389864715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023034306897231585.post-52655486786537429282014-04-09T09:55:30.543-07:002014-04-09T09:55:30.543-07:00amazing booking! may I ask which tools you used to...amazing booking! may I ask which tools you used to search? and approximately which dates?Roger Kaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693259917398810016noreply@blogger.com
