We normally don’t cover deals from cities outside of the United States, however, Mexico City is an easy positioning city relatively speaking. If you have miles and points, visiting Brazil for about $300 is a fantastic deal.

Here are some cheap positioning possibilities via British Airways Avios:

• Los Angeles – 10,000 Avios each way
• Dallas – 7,500 Avios each way
• Chicago – 10,000 Avios each way
• Miami –  10,000 Avios each way
• Charlotte – 10,000 Avios each way
• Phoenix – 10,000 Avios each way

And with the 40% bonus transfer from American Express to British Airways going on now, even cheaper. If you don’t have Avios, using American, Delta or United miles, it is only 17,500 miles each way.
