Welcome Million Mile Secrets las vegas airport hotels Readers!  I ve been a huge fan of Daraius and his site since the beginning and it was great to take part in his interview las vegas airport hotels series.   I m really looking forward to earning with all of you!

About two and half weeks ago I received the awesome news that I was going to have the opportunity to attend the London 2012 Olympics.  I was psyched to see up-close the sports that I somehow only pay attention to every four years Swimming, Athletics (Track Field), Volleyball, and Diving. I was also excited to see some Team USA basketball. I decided that I would look for flights and hotels upon returning from work that night, las vegas airport hotels though I definitely las vegas airport hotels had some trepidation that I wouldn t be able to find any reasonable availability boy was I wrong.
My first step was securing las vegas airport hotels flights and I wanted to use some of my Delta SkyMiles.  I have an insane amount of SkyMiles, though I find myself constantly redeeming awards with my AA and UA miles instead, refusing to book a medium or high level award on Delta.  Delta has three direct flights a day from JFK to LHR, but I was even willing to accept a connection at the low level. las vegas airport hotels I was pleasantly surprised to see that all three direct flights (for all three potential las vegas airport hotels departure days) had low level award availability at the 60k round-trip pricing.  Business class was pricing at the medium level of 200k round-trip, though I could have grabbed a combo Low/Medium award at 150k with a 5 hours layover in Paris via Air France on the way there and a 9 hour layover on the way home.   I went ahead and booked the economy flight at the low level for 60k miles and created a reminder to check each morning for business class availability.  One day later, business on all three flights opened up on both the departure and return and I changed my flight for an additional 40k miles and about $100 in additional taxes.
I expected to see a big tax difference when comparing the AA flights to BA flights, though I was surprised las vegas airport hotels to see Delta s fees when advancing to the final screen as compared to the other carriers, las vegas airport hotels despite las vegas airport hotels the graphics above (not sure why they are being displayed at $2.50):
Anyway, the takeaway here is that low level award flights are easy to obtain, even this late in the game.  I found hotels to be just as easy, some of the rates were so low that i didn t even bother using points, though point options were readily available, more on this in tomorrow s post. It sure seems like there is excess las vegas airport hotels inventory for both flights and hotels. Event tickets as well have been easy to secure. I was given tickets to a few events but wanted to purchase some others.  I had no problems finding cheap options on the official London 2012 site (where tickets are sporadically released) and on eBay, full updates on event tickets tomorrow as well.
You d think a blogger with so many miles would have a bit more of a clue about uk apd fees as well as close I ticketing fees. All the fees are the same on those awards with the exception of ba which has fuel surcharges. From your final costs I can tell u have high status on aa but not ua.
@Gregorygrady Thanks for the wake up! The whole delta pricing at $2.50 until the very final screen las vegas airport hotels was unusual as it normally adds in the appropriate fees once your select your outbound flight.For example, today it s displaying the actual fees from step1. I ve updated las vegas airport hotels the pricing within the post. I m currently Plat on both AA and UA.
