Why This Sale Is a Favorite of Mine:
Last year, I booked a round-trip flight to Anguilla using this same promo for just 10,000 miles total + $69 in taxes and fees — a flight that would’ve cost me over $700 in cash. This is easily one of the best values you’ll find with a domestic airline, and I’m glad to see it back!
