Steve Dave, we might need you to plan our NY trip since Gooch isn't getting anything done.
ok, give me dates. also point figures if you haven't booked flights and hotels.
Well the dates are flexible: Preferably Wed-Sun (but could be flexible) in June (not FattyFest weekend, obv)
130K BA miles and 101K UR
Getting back on Sunday is tough in June. Best bet is Tuesday to Saturday if you want 4 nights.
6/10
AA1476 & AA320 ICT-DFW-EWR 6:45AM-1:55PM 85 minute layover
6/14
AA1342 & AA2398 JFK-DFW-ICT 8:29AM-1:35PM 70 minute layover
Will be 58k Avios total for 2 RTs
If you want to burn through all of those UR points you could stay at either Andaz for 100k total Hyatt points. The brand new Park Hyatt would be amazing but it would be 120k. I wouldn't waste the points on the other options. The Lex just went up in points last year and it was the previous best value.
Andaz 5th Avenue. 100,000
Andaz Wall Street. 100,000
Grand Hyatt New York. 100,000
Hyatt 48 Lex. 100,000
Hyatt Times Square. 100,000
