New York to London for 13,000 miles + $98 in Coach

Whats the deal?

This newly discovered award redemption must now be the cheapest way to get to Europe from North America, especially considering the astronomical summer airfare.

You can fly one-way from either Newark (EWR) or New York (JFK) to London Heathrow (LHR) for 13,000 Virgin Atlantic Miles and $97.50!

This deal is also scalable to Boston and Chicago, where it costs only an extra 1,000 miles one-way.

Is this a good deal?

Undoubtedly YES!

The comparable awards are as follows:

• United 30,000 miles + $5
• American 30,000 miles + $2.50 (or 20,000 miles + $2.50 during off-peak times)
• British Airways 20,000 Avios + $253

Actually, the American Airlines off-peak award at 20K + $2.50 is a better award, in my opinion, but off-peak to Europe is only Oct 15 May 15.

However, for dates outside that range, 13k + $98 sounds like a great deal to me!

There seems to be a lot of availability, whether it be this summer or as far out as the schedule goes (May 2014).

• You can search award flights from the Virgin Atlantic home page.
• Obviously, you must have a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Ink Bold/Plus to transfer miles to partner Virgin Atlantic.
• The same award can work in reverse (London NYC/BOS), but you incur a lot of surcharges when flying out of the UK.
• To avoid the huge cash outlay, try flying out of another country. Take the Eurostar train to visit Paris or Amsterdam and then fly home from there. The taxes will drop to a very reasonable amount.

Wrap Up

Sure, it may not be the glamorous First Class trip for $500 that people are looking for. "The essential to budget travel is to approach onward. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our mind. Arranging and spending our travel budget correctly is a concern for most families. Minimizing expending and charges, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured accomplishment and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind protecting money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal funds is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!..". But considering how easy it is to earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points, Id say its a heck of a deal to a popular destination and a major European gateway.
