Here's a tip: at the time I published this blog post, both
flight legs totaled out to $ 580 for Memorial Day weekend on Norwegian Airlines.
Not exact matches
This is assuming the first checked bag fee with United is $ 25, followed by $ 35 for the second, which
totals $ 60 per person, on one
leg of the
flight.
Note down the United and partner if applicable
flight numbers for each
leg, as well as the number of miles and amount of fees each
leg costs and the
total cost of the itinerary.
While I could have booked the Cayman - New York, New York - Rio, Rio - New York segments for 100k UA miles
total for the first two
legs in economy and the last one in business, I would have ended up with kind of inconvenient
flights from Cayman and to Rio.
With a
total cost for
flights of $ 227.20 for round - trip to London with a
leg in international business class, the points and miles game helped me secure a great deal.
