In November of last year, I took a last minute trip to San Antonio to see one of my closest friends. It was my first time in San Antonio and I was ecstatic. I booked a one way milesAAver award to SAT for 12,500 AA miles. On the return, I used 4,500 Avios points from SAT-DFW and 10,000 Avios from DFW-LAX. It’s a strange combination, but fares to San Antonio were really expensive and I have a boatload of Avios that I needed to burn.<\/p>\n
