Priscilla, we found round trip coach air to LGW non-stop for $626 on BA and for $662 on AA including taxes. If we went on AA we could upgrade the outbound for 25K miles to business class. The air one way to NCE from LGW on BA is $83. The problem with the route is that there is not enough time to connect to the flight to the only flight from Gatwick. We would have to either fly into Heathrow or bus up to Heathrow. So, we figured we would layover, spend the day in London, and then take the flight the next morning over to NCE.

We thought about using airmiles going over and returning from FLL and it runs 40K miles per person in coach on AA, but that is Thanksgiving week when we get back and is a blacked out date. No frequent flyer seats available on the return. So, we may just pay the price, use less miles to upgrade to business on our flight to LGW.

Did this all make sense? Talking airmiles and airfares is like figuring taxes. Just as confusing, but a lot more fun! LOL
