We are having a family vacation in California in July/August 18 and want to save some money by using our miles.
We are a family of 6 with about 550k miles between us.
Given the tight availability of reward tickets to LAX and SFO ( plus we want to try Delta One as we've been more and more disappointed with the quality of the Upper Class experience ) I thinking my best bet would be to fly Delta One to Portland or Salt Lake City with miles then a paid for internal flight to SFO. If we get the outbound before the changes we should be able to get 6 Delta One for 45000miles each and about £388 in taxes then about £120 each for the internal flight
We will be returning from LAX so I'm thinking either 3 of us in Upper, 3 in PE ( if availability is there ) for a simple direct flight or an internal back to Portland or Salt Lake City then Delta One back
There seems to be plenty of availability for May and June for both places but not for LAX ....so I I guess Delta might be a better return option.
If I go ahead and book, if I book something for the return before the end of August ( this won't be my actual flight obviously as it's not been released yet ), when I change the dates will I have to pay the extra 27500miles that the flight has gone up by ?
Hope all that makes sense ?
Thanks
