Best award redemption to Rio de Janeiro?
Hi guys! Planning my next trip and looking to Rio. What are the best redemptions from LA? I looked on the forums but couldn’t find anything.
Maybe you can help give us your definition of “best”. Best hard product? Best soft product? What cabin? Are you ok with less direct routings? Fewest miles required?
“The one with availability.”
No joke, space has been so limited to South America lately. I would start with where there’s award space, and then figure out the best use of miles for those flights.
Gotcha.
Guess i should have been more specific. 🙂
It looks like One World partners have the most frequent flights and I have some AA miles stashed away. I also have a decent amount of TY points as well. No real time frame as to when I want to go, but I [I]would [/I]like to go business class.
I’d suggest one of AA’s routes being operated by their 77W, if that’s still the case. That’s probably the best business class hard product to Rio. Otherwise, grab whatever you can get.
Sounds good. Thanks!
