There are a few programs to earn enough miles and points to get from North America to Europe. In this article, I comment on the prices of each one and potentially ways to exploit them.

When choosing which credit card you want to earn your miles and points in, especially for international travel, consider a few factors factors, including how many seats you will need to redeem on any flight, whether the points you earn can be redeemed for flights out of your airport, whether you are willing to take the risk that your miles will hold their value until when you want to book your flight, among others.

The ability to use stopovers on award flights can save you significant amounts of money. There area few cases when the stopover feature can be used to your advantage:

Making a trip with the intention of visiting 2 places (natural stopover)
Reducing taxes and fees
Circumventing routing rules to open up award availability
Combining 2 disjointed trips with your home airport as a stopover (creative stopover)

Aeroplan’s mini round the world itinerary is one of the best bargains in frequent flyer programs. The concept in question is to make use of the stopover feature combined with Aeroplan’s lax routing rules. Fly over the Pacific to an Asian destination and fly back over the Atlantic with a stopover in a European city. This is a great value and one of the best redemptions of Aeroplan miles.
