I was just looking at my airmiles account and if I collect 163 miles by December 31st I will be Onyx level. Somehow I am pretty sure I will be able to achieve that
.
I've only ever used my airmiles for Disney and Universal tickets so I know nothing about redeeming for flights. We have two trips in 2017. One will be to Disney, the other to the Rockies. I will need three flights into Calgary for that in October of 2017. My question is if it's better to save for the flights I need or the Disney tickets. I'll have to do a comparison, but I'm wondering of the Onyx perks will make booking the flights with airmiles the better deal? It says up to 40% off select flights. Do you guys know if that happens often or just on the worst flights at the worst times for places nobody wants to go ?
I have several options for the August 2017 Disney trip with one likely being free dining if that week is offered again. In that case, we would have to get tickets with our package anyway. So saving for one or two of the flights might make more sense. I am pretty much limited to WestJet or Air Canada and can book both on airmiles.
