Our Recommendation

There are no direct flights from MSY to CLO so to find the best flights, we sorted by the shortest duration. There are flights on Spirit Airlines, but we try to avoid that carrier due to negative reviews, so instead we’re focusing on United since the requester had a bank of Ultimate Rewards points.

35k Miles on United

United award chart shows us:

  • 50k miles for Saver in Economy
  • 35k miles for Business Saver Award

It’s rare to see a Business Class flight available for less than Economy, so we highly suggest jumping on this offer if you can find it for your desired dates.

Transfer Ultimate Rewards to United

To redeem this flight, you want to transfer your Ultimate Rewards points to United.

First, look up your desired flight dates, and the points required, then transfer the points. This may be instant, it may take 24 hours. Once transferred, go ahead and book your flights and you’re all set.

If you want to get more miles that can transfer directly to United, we recommend Chase cards, specifically:
  • 100k welcome bonus (enough for almost 4 roundtrip flights) — after you spend $15k in the first 3 months
  • Just $95 annual fee
