New York City
About the Trip & How We Did It
In January, my daughter Leah was home waiting for her study abroad to start, so I decided a Mother/Daughter trip to NYC was in order! Points made this possible. Highlights of our trip included: attending the delightful musical & Juliet; popping into the Harry Potter store; stopping by the New York City Library and admiring their cool museum artifacts; visiting the Shirtwaist Factory site, St. Pat’s Cathedral, MOMA, Chelsea Market, and Central Station; eating some incredible food including a 3-course Greek restaurant week meal; walking in Central Park; and just soaking up the vibrancy that is New York City while making unforgettable memories.
Here's how we did it:
• Originally booked roundtrip tickets MCI-LGA on Southwest for 11K points which later went down to 7.2K points plus $22.40 in taxes for the two of us (used Companion pass)
• Stayed 2 nights at the beautiful Hyatt Thompson Central Park for 42K total – saving us $980.00, a 2.3 point redemption.
