I need to dump a bunch of frequent flyer miles so if any of you are interested, let me know. It costs too much $$ to transfer, so the way it would work is you figure out where you want to go.... give me dates and I'll book the ticket for you. I have > 240K miles, so for example:

First Class ticket on Singapore Airlines from US to Singapore is 140K miles (round-trip)
Buisness Class tickets to almost anywhere are around 120K.
First Class to Europe is 100K miles

If you were to purchase a First Class ticket to Singapore on a 5-start airline.. it is around $9K.

I can get you the ticket for $3500 ($0.025 / mile). The only downside is that for trips such as these... you have to book 8-10 months in advance. For flights operated by Delta.. its much easier.

If you find a nice place to go.... give me dates and I can book you a ticket. This is not worth it for short trips here and there... its cheaper to buy from expedia.com or something. This is very useful if you want to go First Class or Business Class anywhere in the world.

 

Question:
1) So the date should be 8+ MONTHS IN ADVANCE ?
2) It's not worth it for classes other than 1st & Business, correct ?

 

1. It does not necessarily have to be 8+ months in advance, but it is easier to get a seat when its not a delta-operated airline. In my opinion... its better to use the miles on a 5-star airline with comfy beds and caviar than on a domestic flight

2. You get more bang for the buck with 1st and biz class

 

A little unusual for the Black Market, but let's see how this goes.

 

i book a flight 1 month in advance to arizona and it was 100k miles instead of the usual, which is 50 or 25 i think. Just a thought

 

It does vary over the season as well.. peak vs. non-peak months.

 

Yeah.. unsure on your rules, but I figured its worth a try!

 

how much for the 1st class to trip to europe?

 

If first class is available.. maybe $2.5K

 

The difference between 1st and biz is minimal...

 

How much are you selling the miles for? I just used all of mine, need some for Las Vegas, I assume 50k would be sufficient...

 

Your PM is full FInd me a flight with stops if possible

 

How much would a tix to Okinawa, Japan cost? 1st and business...

 

Depends when you want to go... preferably June 18th or later in 2007 - that way its easier to find a seat. If your dates are flexible... then its even easier! 1st class maybe $3000 - biz class maybe slightly less. Flight will go to Tokyo.. you have to take the train to Okinawa.

 

Outbound is full... return is OK.
