[Award Alert] East Coast to Bahamas for 9K Miles in Business Class

If you’re looking to get to the Bahamas on a budget, we’ve got a great deal for you.

Right now, we are seeing business class flights to and from multiple airports in the Bahamas for 9,000 miles one-way in business class — which is far less than the lowest partner award chart rate of 15,000 miles.

Either this is a mistake or a flash sale, but either way, if you’re interested, you should book quickly, especially because you can cancel for free if you change your mind later.

Let’s take a look at the details.

Bahamas Award Alert — Full Details

Thanks to a tip from our friends at Roame.Travel, we are seeing wide-open award availability to the Bahamas from the East Coast for 9,000 Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles in business class, or just 4,500 miles in economy.

What makes this deal special is that Charlotte is more than 700 miles away, meaning this route should cost 15,000 miles. However, you can book it for 40% off the lowest publicly advertised rates right now.

• Class: Economy and business
• Routes: Charlotte (CLT) and Miami (MIA) to North Eleuthera (ELH) and Marsh Harbour (MHH)
• Airline: American Airlines
• Program: Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan
• Cost: 4,500 miles in economy or 9,000 miles in business class, plus $20 in taxes and fees
• Dates: November 2025 through June 2026
• Seats: Up to 5 seats each way

To easily find dates with availability, you can search Roame.Travel, which will display routes, prices, and booking options.

To score these prices, you will need to book via Alaska Airlines, although the flights will be on American Airlines.

While you can find flights from Miami for 9,000 miles in business class, the longer flight from Charlotte is currently pricing out at the same rate.

If you prefer to book with American Airlines, you can book the same flights for 8,000 miles or 20,000 miles in business class.

These flights cost around $1,000, so being able to book with so few miles is a great deal.

Best Ways To Book

Redeeming Alaska miles is the best way to book this deal. However, earning Alaska miles can be difficult.

The fastest way to earn Alaska miles is by using an Alaska Airlines credit card, but you can also earn miles by shopping through the Mileage Plan Shopping portal, dining at restaurants that participate in Mileage Plan Dining, or flying with Alaska’s Oneworld partners. You can also transfer points from Bilt Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy.

Final Thoughts

You can book flights from the East Coast of the U.S. to the Bahamas for as few as 9,000 miles each way in business class — that represents a 40% discount on the lowest standard partner award rate.

If you’re interested, book quickly, as we don’t know how long these rates will last.
