To Rome from Austin w/ UA miles. Book now or wait 90 days out?
Hi Lucky,
I’m planning airfare to Rome from Austin returning from Naples, IT, leaving sept 23 2015 returning a month later. I found a couple united flights for 60,000 miles total but travel times at 19 and 18 hours respectively. Should I book now or wait till 90 days out and see if more options open up with shorter travel times. A United rep told me better options open up sometimes.
@ doug tune — Better options do sometimes open as the departure time approaches, though you might not be able to do much better than what you have now. Assuming your dates are firm, I’d probably lock in an itinerary now so that you don’t have to stress about it for months.
