Through Sunday, September 16, 2012, American Express Membership Rewards is offering a 35% bonus on points transfers to Air France s Flying Blue program. The bonus is coded into the transfer ratio, educational tour companies so you can take advantage of the offer as many times as you d like during the promotion period.
Flying Blue charges 25,000 miles for a one-way ticket to Europe in coach (50,000 miles in business class one-way), and if you fly on Delta there aren t any fuel surcharges. For example, a one-way ticket from New York to London on Delta would cost just 25,000 miles plus $19.20 in taxes.
Even more exciting is that Flying Blue charges the same number of miles for travel to Israel, so you could fly Delta s service between New York and Tel Aviv roundtrip for 50,000 educational tour companies miles in coach or 100,000 miles in business class.
With the transfer bonus, this means you re potentially looking at 38,000 Membership Rewards points for a roundtrip ticket to Europe/Israel in coach, or 75,000 Membership Rewards points for a roundtrip ticket to Europe/Israel in business class.
Air France Flying Blue charges just 12,500 miles for a one-way domestic award on Delta, with the added advantage of allowing one-way awards at half the price of a roundtrip , which Delta doesn t. Now the big challenge here is that Delta domestic award availability is rare. Very rare.
That being said, if you can make it work, it s a smashingly good deal (though be sure to price out a ticket on American using British educational tour companies Airways Avios as well, as they re running educational tour companies a 40% transfer educational tour companies bonus at the moment ). You d potentially be looking at paying just 19,000 Membership Rewards points for a roundtrip domestic ticket.
While not quite as good of a deal, I suspect this could be useful in some instances. Flying Blue charges 40,000 miles for one-way awards to Asia/Africa (or 80,000 miles in business class), and 50,000 educational tour companies miles for one-way awards to Australia educational tour companies (or 100,000 miles in business class). When factoring in the 35% transfer bonus to Flying Blue, this works out very close in cost to booking directly with Delta, except with Flying Blue you have the option of booking one-ways.
Back in April I wrote a post about the great opportunities for redeeming SkyMiles for travel on Aeromexico. educational tour companies While Delta s award space to South America is virtually non-existent at the low level, Aeromexico has plenty of award space and doesn t impose fuel surcharges. For example, a one-way from New York to Buenos Aires in business class would run you just 50,000 miles plus $20.49 in taxes.
In other words, educational tour companies a roundtrip between the US and South America would cost you just 38,000 Membership Rewards educational tour companies points in coach or 75,000 Membership Rewards points educational tour companies in business class. That s an amazing value, especially given how much award space is available on Aeromexico s flights.
I m very tempted to book an award ticket on Delta to Tel Aviv for only 75,000 Membership educational tour companies Rewards points. I ve been meaning to visit Israel, and this is about half of what any other airline would charge for travel to Tel Aviv. Besides, educational tour companies I believe Delta has their new business educational tour companies class product on the New York to Tel Aviv route, which makes this all the more tempting.
The miles needed to get premium economy over economy (and AF new Y + long haul fleet has a good product for day flights ) is also a really good option cost wise (something like 31 500 miles RT for a Promo Award for a transatlatic flight).
@ Allen I believe it can be with one of their partners. They do allow stopovers, educational tour companies though I believe you have to call to book that. The website also usually displays China Southern and China Airlines in my experience (though not sure about China Eastern).
