Question: Best way to use MR for BOS<->PIT flight

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

In august I'm flying to pittsburg from Boston and wanted some advice on making the most of my MR (or whether I should just save my MR for some other use). I've got ~57K MR to play with. Since The flight distance is <650 miles I was thinking avios would be the way to go if I could get a direct US airways flight. I know these exist from the US airways page, but when I search for it on the BA website nothing comes up...does this mean they can't be booked with avios?

Do I have any other good options? Jetblue does the flight too, but for more around 16k points each way (and the MR:trueblue ratio is not even 1:1), and delta can do it with layovers for 10k each way. Am I missing anything?

Thanks!

Try this on for size, This is only a sample booking and you will want to check the dates.

The 10,000 miles you are seeing on Delta is round trip. This is the page with an example grid of using miles, BOS to PIT, somewhere in mid August.

Go Delta. eazy cheezy.

Touche. I wasn't sure when in August they wanted it but I was able to book RT 1st class on AA DEN <-> DFW and using BA miles 18K each way 5 days out. Econo would have been 4.5K each way. Woulda been 25K/12.5K each way using AAdvantage.

The shorter the route is, the less inclined I am to pay with points.
