Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer
Singapore Airlines First class suites are totally worth it and you can redeem just for the experience of it.
@ 7.14 cents redemption, you can book Lost Angeles to Tokyo, First Class Suites. You will have to plan at least 8 months ahead to book these flights using Krisflyer miles. Sometimes, these can be seen as wait listed, depends on your luck to see that availability.
There are few availability as early as July – Aug 2018, as quoted by Viewfromthewing
An Average one way ticket costs at $6700+
United MileagePlus
You can travel to Auckland, New Zealand, with 90,000 points one way in Business class. The airtime is nearly 30+ hrs, so traveling business class is not cheap. It costs around $4500 for a one-way ticket. So you get a redemption value @ 5 cents
Don’t forget when it is winter here, its summer in New Zealand.
Normal pricing in Economy or Business class to Auckland, NZ
Another redemption to Delhi at 170K round trip in business class.
Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards
Southwest offers nice redemption when booked early, like 4 to 6 months in advance.
Here is a MDW to CUN redemption for Oct-Nov 2018. At 9360 southwest rapid rewards, you can get a round trip & non-stop flights. Only drawback is their hefty fees on international travel, with almost $80 per person. Its still a great redemption. So you get southwest redemption @3 cents. The fee kind of compensates with free 1st and 2nd Bag check-in offered by south west. I really love that.
World of Hyatt
Hyatt Ziva All Inclusive hotels have pretty good redemption, which normally range from $400 to $700. At 25,000 you can get most of Hyatt Ziva. This combined with southwest redemption, makes one of the cheapest cancun All Inclusive package.
Typical cost of the Hyatt Ziva Cancun is given below. It might not be the best value if there are more than 2 people, as they charge 12,500 per additional person. So you get a redemption value @ 1.84 cents.
British Airways Executive Club
Most of the airlines get you a round trip within US for 25,000 points. If you transfer to British Avios, its distance based award ticket, you can travel via American for less points and price. It varies from 15,000 to 20,000. Its much cheaper than redeeming via AA miles. So you get a redemption value @1.66 cents. Availability is pretty less.
There are around the world redemption. Travel around the world with award flights to few cities of your dreams. To travel in Singapore Airlnes, all you need is 180,000 KrisFlyer miles in Economy Class, 240,000 KrisFlyer miles in Business Class and 360,000 KrisFlyer miles in First Class.
