Pricing could be better or whatever but You can easily get a round trip ticket and a few days in a hotel with that much CB anyways ...
Here is what I paid for the trip myself with only Car rental, Hotel and Air fare for 5 days:
Round Trip tickets X2: $640
Hotel: $1,000
Car Rental: I usually don't get CDW and liability but did so Car rental was :$250 Plus $170 for the CDW and liability for around the price of $420
Total cost was around $2,000 for 2 people and 5 days but Depending on how long, airline, Hotel and etc you can get it cheaper.
Not bad for 5 days for 2 people! I see your hotel consumed a good portion of your points. Do you always use your UR points for flights? I usually use them on flights less than $100 R/T when I catch them lol am in Kentucky but I tend to always fly out of CVG on Frontier. I am flying CVG-LAX drive to Vegas and LAS-MIA-CVG.
I just paid cash for that trip. Currently banking 60,000 AA points and 100,000 Hilton points for a trip i was thinking of doing this summer but probably nezt summer now
Ah ok I see. You got good points saved up!! Domestic or international?
Domestic .... Don't currently have an active passport
You gotta start collecting passport stamps with those points lol
I have plenty of stamps already on my old ones... No desire to go away since I don't want to spend that much in travel ....yet anyways. Going to cost quite a lot ti go to Korea, Japan and France for what i want to do anyways
. Planning on using the AA points to travel to SD and than return from Portland while driving up the coast....
I like how you roll!! Lucky you..Japan and Korea are on my list! You'll be eating good over there lol

That would be helpful if I lived in LA
I live in NYC
Ahh very different story I imagine! I don't live anywhere near LA, but can generally find cheaper flights if my main round trip is done to/from LA instead of my home state (IE it's cheaper overall to buy 1-way tickets to/from LA, then round trip to/from LA for the main journey). Weird, but I'm willing to jump through hoops if it saves enough $$
One way tickets to LA from NYC is around $150 or so
. Probably going to wait until i save some money and some time and take a big vacation and visit all those places at once.
I would wait for a big trip , if you are travelign domestically I would just use cash/credit cards aka not using points.
I used an bunch of UR earlier this year to fly asiana business to far east it was quite nice. Since i used UAL minimal surcharges so it was pretty good all around.
Roughly how many UR points does it take to fly R/T to Asia?
