Hi all,
My family (total 3 people) are planning a trip from Seattle to Delhi in December (around the 22+/-3) and return in early January. I want to go Business class using my Ultimate Reward Points. I've read some blogs about planning such a trip and am actively looking for availability. I want to return using AA miles.
I really have a few questions:
1) I plan to fly there using UR points and back using AA miles. My AA Miles have not posted yet (I need another bonus to get all my miles). Should I wait until I have all miles (both there and back) to book. Is there a risk to booking my flight there and worrying about my flight back in a month?
2) What are the best tools to plan such a trip. There are so many route combinations that it seems hard to sort through them all. I've used Award Nexus. Does it come up with all routes?
3) Is it too late to try to plan this trip? In your experience, is availability too limited already?
Finally, if anyone has any general tips while I take this process on let me know. I was up until 3:00AM trying to plan this.
