Hi, everyone!
Not sure if I'm in the right place, so feel free to re-direct me if that is the case. DH and I just put a deposit on an
ABD in Europe and were hoping to book award tickets for business class. I used to dabble in mileage awards before the vid, but everything is so different now! I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Our immediate goal is just those business class flights, but I'm also always on the lookout for a good deal, and I can't resist filling out a form
so here's the info requested in your FAQs:
We currently put most of our spend on our Costco Visa for the cash back, unless it is travel that would benefit from the insurance we get with CSP.
DH has an Alaska Visa (boa).
I have CSP, Citi Costco, and Delta Amex.
We have not opened any new cards in the past 2 years.
Monthly spend: $3-4K
We don't carry any balances
SEA is our home airport
We have miles in Alaska (100K), Delta (60K), American (100K), and United (300K from a canceled trip in 2019 that was booked with Sapphire points transferred to United.
We try not to fly Southwest.
We rarely stay in hotels, are members of a few loyalty plans, but no points to speak of.
It's just DH and I travelling (and spending).
Our immediate goal is Business Class to and from Europe (SEA-MUC and BUD-SEA) this Sept for the ABD Oktoberfest River Cruise. When we pt our deposit down a week ago, we could only see flights to July. Now, all of a sudden they are scheduling through September, and I don't see ANY award space for Business.
Thanks in advance for any direction or advice!
