I booked next ski season's Euro flights just a couple of hours before we left for Sweden, after some offline correspondence with James.
James, ChrisC and I have all found that his is the general time frame when FF deals can be had, albeit for very limited dates. In this instance we will be paying 34K miles + $102 to fly to Geneva Jan. 21 - Feb. 9. This deal is naturally only available on two-stoppers: SEA and AMS on Jan. 19 and CDG and SLC on Feb. 9.
The above cheap miles deal with two stops is deja vu from our original 2019-20 plans. I was allowed to redeposit those miles with no penalty due to first Liz' shoulder injury, then the COVID shutdown. Delta also froze its Medallion qualification miles for 2020 and 2021. I'm now Platinum Status with an MQM stockpile that assures I will retain that status through at least 2025.
