We all love an aspirational redemption. Traveling a long way in an international business- or first-class cabin is an undeniably great experience, but that's not all points and miles are good for.<\/p>\n

For those times when you need to get from Point A to Point B, you can use points \u2014 and often at great value. A perfect example of this comes courtesy of Qatar Airways' partner award chart. You can redeem just 9,500 Avios \u2014 or 20,000 in first class \u2014 for nonstop American Airlines or Alaska Airlines flights under 650 miles long. All you have to pay out-of-pocket is just the minimum $10.10 in taxes and fees, or a little more if you're going abroad.<\/p>\n

While 650 miles might not sound very long, this distance band unlocks a combined 540+ American Airlines and Alaska Airlines routes you can fly for the minimum number of Avios. Plus, Avios are some of the easiest mileage currencies to accumulate.<\/p>\n

Here's a look at this award chart sweet spot<\/a>.<\/p>\n
