Another good thing about having a LOT of miles is if you have a relative or friend who needs a ticket right away you can GIVE your miles in the form of a ticket to them on some airlines.
I think that's a great thing about having a lot of miles... if you have a friend in need you can help them out.
Randy: OOPS! I figured you all would be too busy to see me as I make my way through. I will adjust my itinerary yet again!
