How much do the taxes and surcharges add?
It depends on the airline flying the seat, not the program. On a typical seat one way: British Airways $734, American Airlines $6, Delta $6, JetBlue $6. Some airlines add a carrier surcharge to award tickets on their own flights; the others charge little more than government taxes. Every total on this page already includes them.
What is the best business class from New York to London?
Five airlines fly it nonstop: British Airways, American, Virgin Atlantic, Delta and JetBlue with Mint. All of them sell a lie-flat business seat on the route, and British Airways and American fly it several times a day, which is why it has more award seats than any other US route to London.
What about a return?
The calendar covers New York to London one way. In miles a return is two one-ways with no return discount, and the taxes on the way back can differ. Tell us both dates and we price and book the pair.
Can I use miles I already have?
Yes. On any program under Ways to book, tap “Already have some miles?” and enter your balance: it reprices to the cost of the shortfall. Our minimum order applies, so a small shortfall may leave you with spare miles. AAdvantage is the exception: we deliver it as a ready account with the miles already in it, so it cannot be combined with your own balance.
Do you show programs you don't sell?
No. The dollar prices only cover programs we sell, so seats in other programs are left out, and some of them can be cheaper in miles. If you hold those, use them, and if you'd rather we found and booked the seat for you, ask us.
