If you're looking for
the cheapest mileage requirements, look no further than our second Oneworld alliance option, Japan Airlines.
The issue with
these cheap mileage requirements is that they often come with pretty heavy fees.
Not exact matches
So the total fees are
cheaper than United's and the
mileage requirement is much lower, too.
After searching around, I found that Southwest often edged out Jet Blue with lower
mileage requirements but both seemed to offer some
cheap options that beat out other competitors.
Plus, the 80,000 and 85,000
mileage requirements are way
cheaper than what American and even Alaskan would require for the same flights.
Still, it is worth noting that 126,000 miles is still
cheaper than a United partner award (140,000) and with no fuel surcharges, the higher
mileage requirement isn't as bad as it first appears compared to those other airlines.
