And to be fair: I used a portion of the fully free miles we got from signing 16 new free T-Mobile contracts. There were still some miles left after my wife an I had booked our two LH F-Class seats from FRA via Bangkok to Phuket for 270.000 miles (we refrained from using 320.000 DC miles, there is certainly better use for these).
