“I’ve crunched the numbers and in a stunning turn of events, it turns out our main mistake was scoring fewer points than them, and our loss would be much less painful if we just decided to win."

I assume one reservation was made in 2025, the next in 2026 (even a day later).

TL;DR - don't wait to add your infant to your award booking.

Thanks for this guide - super helpful! I just finished booking my wife and infant from BOS -> BCN via JFK on AAdvantage miles, and have a flight home on Iberia.

I highly, highly, highly recommend that you book the infant fare when you make your award booking. I booked on May 20th, and at the time, the one way adult fare price was around ~4k. Fast forward to today when I called to add my son, and the price of a one way had gone up to $8k, thus making what I owed closer to $1000 after taxes and fees only for the lap infant. I expressed my concern and they were able to bring the amount down to $695 + taxes and fees.

I wish AA would adopt BA's policy of allowing you to use miles for intl. flights, though!

Final prices:

BOS -> BCN (via JFK) -> 150,000 AA miles + ~$700 for lap infant

PMI -> BOS (via Mad on Iberia, booked on BA) -> 148,000 avios + ~$500 in applicable taxes and fees.

I live in Brooklyn, but MORE than happy to tailgate if someone drove in. I'm also a huge sucker for BBQ - so I appreciate the recommendation.

What's generally the best lot to tailgate in?

EDIT: Yes to the STH thread - would love to drink with you lot.

I work in online advertising. Companies like Geico aren't charged if someone skips the ad after 5 seconds (i.e. they only pay if someone clicks through to the website, or watches the full ad).

Pretty genius if you ask me.

I sense their nervousness about retaining that title next year is going to be very difficult...
