Other pertinent factors are costs of earning and transfer and value of miles to you. Spending all that money to go from from SFO to DEL and worrying about some 20,000 miles (or 30,000 with COB) is what I don't understand!
Unless she is on a whirlwind business trip, or compelling family circumstances, I fail to understand why someone would pay $2500 or more to get miles worth no more than $500, ($1000 max).
I should have mentioned earlier... There is no way this is planned for miles. She is doing this for reasons, wedding in India, on the way a business meeting in london and then a quick trip to Holy City of Jeruslam.
Since i take a decent amount of flights, i was wondering why waste all these miles that she can get.
So again, should i set up a FPP program for her with Air France and Royal Jordanian and let the miles just stay there or transfer them to my account.
