I'm in a quandry.. I have about 1/2 mil miles (Ya nothing to some of you I know but still).. and I'm finding it increasingly more difficult to justify using them when there are such great deals to just about everywhere..

e.g. -- I really want to go to SIN for absolutely no good reason.. and would use miles.. but the arefares only about $600 for goodness sake!.. Would you burn 40k miles or prefer to earn another 40 to add to the collection?

I guess you could save up for the first class trips on CX/BA.. but I get so many free upgrades on AA its just as easy to pay that $600 and fly half way in business class..

Anyone else having this problem, or should I just get over myself and book first on miles and drink lots of Krug?
