Best Ways to Transfer AMEX Points for Domestic Flights

[@loganwharff]

I don’t understand how you’re finding the domestic flights on the Singapore and Cathay airlines. Anyone else have trouble finding flights to transfer points?

Bro this video is exaclty what i was looking for! I'm running low on Cap 1 miles from using Turkish airlines to book United domestic and need to use my Amex MR points now. Great video!!

[@danielsun7572]

Fantastic video. Great job bro!

Tried with Cathay Pacific, but it does not let you do Domestic to Domestic. Only Domestic to international. Any ideas? Did they change their policies? Singapore Airlines seems to work but you need to change the search field to redeem points first.

[@realprofessoroak]

If someone can help, I’ve been trying to book a trip from Dallas to Anchorage, Alaska I tried some of the methods but it’s not working. Can someone please help

[@Lennyisadog]

I am trying to search flights on Singapore airlines but it wont let me add two domestic locations. It will only allow one domestic location and one foreign locaiton.

[@spicytongs5284]

I noticed if before you search for the flight, you can select the redeem points option.

[@callsbypeople]

Is this true for Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Hawaii? How about for round trip? Are these prices ever beat by other scenarios? How about best value for business or first class? Any amazing deals there? Thank you!!

I found a decent use case for quantas!

[@Knappconstruction]

So apparently just because there are flights available on AA website and there points are low doesn’t mean they are available at Qatar or BA…… just transferred 117k points from my Amex. So I’m super pissed off. What can I do to get the flight I want?

[@Ctboosts]

Any way to transfer Amex to Alaskan?

[@ctobin22]

I am searching for delta flight from Austin to Pensacola but flights seem to be 46k points each way. That seems to be way more than 7500 miles you talking about. Anyway to get this for less miles? 46k miles seems a lot each way for a short flight like this I want to

[@daniellacan-bradley9070]

Super helpful! Just wondering if I’m doing something wrong because when I try searching in Avianca and Cathay, for example, it’s saying my US destination doesn’t exist. I’m sure it’s a dumb mistake on my end!

[@realprofessoroak]

Okay so with Avianca, you would be looking for those Star Alliance partner airline award flights, specifically United, which means you would have to keep in mind the airports that United services in the States. Same goes for Cathay Pacific except it would be with Oneworld which is American Airlines. It can be tricky when you're flying out of a destination that only operates certain domestic carriers, but if you change your departure airport or book a positioning flight it could work.

[@daniellacan-bradley9070]

With Avianca, specifically, I choose a domestic airport (in my case Chicago) but the destinations to choose from are only international.

[@brapp5973]

I get the exact same thing. In fact, I plugged in the same airports as in the vid-Chicago to WAS-and it says WAS is not a valid destination. What’s up with that? I also tried IAD (Dulles) but no luck. What am I doing wrong? Another question: I’ve been told that some airlines won’t release award seats with their partner airlines until they choose to (even if available on the actual operating airline). True?

[@jenniferw8963]

@@realprofessoroak I';m totally confused. I go to cathwaypacific and try and book a one way from JFK to LAX. It sees JFK fine but no LAX for destination. Do I have to be logged in or soemthing?

[@vergurogue4544]

Great Video. How do you treat trips to Hawaii? I go there about four times a year.

[@realprofessoroak]

I was actually planning a video on booking flights to Hawaii specifically, it's currently in the works

[@jwilk0490]

[@fuge511]

British airways 16k one way in economy from west coast. Turkish 7500 c1 if you can find the award availability

Can you share that spreadsheet you created in the Description?

[@realprofessoroak]

Sure thing, I added a link to the spreadsheet in the description box.

Hey man, I noticed on your LinkedIn you have OEF under deployment experience, how could you have possibly served in Operation Enduring Freedom if you joined in 2018 . OEF started 2001 and ended 2014 . I’m not hating , I just want to understand, unless OEF stands for something else?
