[SUITE SPOTS] Vietnam Airlines Business Class to Ho Chi Minh City

Happy New Year, Reader! If one of your resolutions for the new year is to travel more… This email’s for you. Did you know that nearly half of Americans make New Year’s resolutions, but only around a quarter of them actually stay committed in the first 30 days? According to Columbia University, even fewer actually accomplish their goals by the end of the year… Less than 10%! So let’s make sure that your 2025 travel resolutions stay within reach. Pick 3 places that you would love to visit…

@themilescouple Points and Miles Academy Virgin Atlantic has more “Saver” award space for business class seats to London! Pricing is 29K points from JFK and ATL, 41K points from LAX, and 68K points from SEA. However, Amex offers 40% bonus points to Virgin Atlantic through the end of 2024, so you only need 21K points (JFK + ATL), 30K points (LAX), or 49K points (SEA). This is seriously the best pricing you can get for business class to Europe across the board… but especially for the west…

@themilescouple Award Booking Service Fly lie-flat to Istanbul on several nonstop routes! Fly out of New York, Chicago, DC, Los Angeles, or San Francisco. Pricing for the dates shown below is at 65,000 points + $217 each way when booking directly through Turkish Airlines! We’re also included three more ways you can book – through United, Air Canada, and ANA – but double-check your preferred travel dates with these specific partners, since not all dates are available across all programs.

@themilescouple Award Booking Service Fly lie-flat to Tokyo with a layover in Paris (which you can turn into a several-day stopover)! Pricing for these dates is at 95,000 points! With Chase’s 20% transfer bonus to Air France/KLM, you’ll only need to transfer 80,000 points per seat. Flying through Europe is definitely a more round-about way to get to Tokyo from the US, but considering how competitive premium award availability to Japan is these days, it may be worth it if any of these dates…

@themilescouple Award Booking Service It’s been such a long time since we’ve seen this much availability for Emirates First Class to Italy! For the past 3-4 months, we’ve been tracking Emirates’ fifth freedom route between New York and Milan on a daily basis. Until now, there has typically been only last-minute availability, with seats opening up just 3 days before departure. However, when we checked this morning, we were pleasantly surprised to see that more dates have become available!…

@themilescouple Award Booking Service Biz and first class availability to Tokyo is super rare to find, so book ASAP if it’s on your bucket list! This deal is super hot, and I anticipate the dates may be all sold out by tomorrow – especially in first class. So my tip? Book now, deliberate later! Still: don’t forget to double-check availability through your preferred booking method prior to transferring your credit card points. The best part? If you’re booking via American Airlines, you can…
