Hi everyone,
My wife and I would love to fly on Emirates A380 in F next year to Italy. We don’t have a date in mind, so we are very flexible. We would like to go in the fall though (maybe around August/September)
I know planning something this far in advance is tough because of the possible devaluations, but I’d like to start applying for the right cards to get this done.
Here are my thoughts:
MIA – JFK using Avios points as it would only cost me 30k points (I have more than enough UR point for this already)
JFK – MXP – 100k using Alaska miles
MXP-MIA – anywhere between 60k-150k miles using American miles. We have about 60k miles each at this time, so another Citi card should put us over the mark.
So my question to you guys is, what’s the easiest way to get those 100k miles each on Alaska? As I’ve read I’m assuming churning the BOA Alaska card is the best way, but wondering if anyone else has any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
