Is there value in buying SUMA Miles?
On paper there definitely seems to be value in buying the miles! In the past our FFB readers have told us there are no carrier surcharges passed along by Air Europa so if you can find award availability it could be worthwhile!
With the program you can fly round trip in business class with lie flat seats on Air Europa’s Boeing 787s between Miami or New York and Spain or Portugal for 100,000 SUMA Miles. With the buy miles bonus you can purchase 70,000 miles for 1050 EUR and receive 35,000 bonus miles for 105,000 miles in total. That’s not a bad price for round trip business class ticket across the Atlantic.
You can also redeem 128,000 miles for round trip business class flights on SkyTeam airlines that are between 1,751 and 3,500 miles. Routes that fall into that distance band include Boston to Lisbon and Paris; Montreal to Amsterdam and Paris and several others. Thus for these options you could buy 90,000 miles (+ 45,000 bonus miles) for 1350 EUR. For a round trip business class award flight on airlines likes Air France, Delta or KLM that is a pretty amazing deal.
