I think on of the worst awards is the KLM Award using Alaska miles. One round trip within Europe is 50,000 miles in coach or 140,000 miles in business class. Business class is coach with a curtain seperating you.

140k get my vote.

I completely agree. When I saw this thread, this was the award that came to mind as the biggest rip off.

I can spend 140k AS Miles for an Intra-Europe Business Class trip on KLM. Or I can spend 140k AS Miles for a North America to India/South Africa Business Class trip on KLM.

Hmm - wonder which one I'm going to book.
