Note that some trip examples given by Secret Flying above are longer than a week, which is the maximum roundtrip length you can search for via the calendar of lowest on ITA Matrix.

If the trip is longer than a week, search for those dates specifically (by checking the search exact dates box).

Booking

Note the dates you find on ITA Matrix and search on Expedia (booking through that link supports this site).

Mileage Earning

SAS is a part of Star Alliance so you can credit redeemable miles earned to United MileagePlus. Since the ticket is bought through Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and is in fare class (T), you will earn 50% of the miles flown.

Flight distance Miami to Oslo: 4,740

• Redeemable United miles you would earn: 2,370

Flight distance Miami to Copenhagen: 4,883

• Redeemable United miles you would earn: 2,441

Baggage Allowance

You get a free carry on item up to 18 lbs and one free checked bag up to 51 pounds included in the ticket price.

Best Way to Buy the Ticket

Your top choice should be the Chase Sapphire Reserve® or Citi Prestige® Card, since they come with a $300 Travel Credit (Sapphire Reserve) or $250 Air Travel Credit (Citi Prestige) every calendar year that will cover this ticket. If you haven’t used the credit yet, buy this fare with either your Sapphire Reserve or Prestige, and you will receive an offsetting credit on your next statement: a totally free trip to Europe!

Even if you’ve already used your $300 or $250 credit for this year, both cards offers 3x on all airfare purchases.

See Scott’s full breakdown of the Citi Prestige Card which explains its many benefits like the annual $250 Air Travel Credit, access to Priority Pass lounges, and 3x points per dollar on air travel and hotels.

See Scott’s review of the Chase Sapphire Reserve® and read about why it’s one of the best travel credit card ever to hit the market.
