For every $100 in vouchers it will cost 909 Air Miles. This is a wonderful deal for me. I am a teacher and when I am able to travel I always experience black out dates. I have been there and felt the frustration summers, Christmas to visit family, long weekends, nope nadda for availability.
I almost booked my vacation yesterday with my Miles and would have been left paying the taxes, airport fees etc outside of Miles using cash. Almost 980$ oop. And it was great until the lady told me about this deal and it can be used to cover the taxes. AWESOME!!!
This may not appear to be a great deal to some, let me break down my logic.
Air Miles advertises that New York has flights for 1125 miles. Anytime I can fly its peak season but I spent some time playing with it for fun. I was not able to find flights to this point level but did find flights for 1463 miles which is awesome! The taxes is $143 still great deal, but none of these are direct flights. They stop in either Toronto, Montreal or Boston and are 5 to 7 hours flying time each way. I bought a direct flight in May for $500 which was about 2 hours 15 minutes each way for a direct flight for the low miles can be a challenge, and you need travel flexibility. I prefer direct flights if the difference is $300 or less. When I'm on vacation I want to get to my destination quickly for more discovery time. If the price was more than $300 in difference I will explore the shortest milk route for the lower price.
EQUATE DEALS WITH THE PRICE OF YOUR TIME
I have another exception. If you have a lot of time for your trip I encourage the lay overs and call and ask for a night lay over so you have time to explore a new city for just the cost of a hotel room. Now that's a great deal!
