Edge of Space Flight (3,000,000 points):
Fly in a MiG-25 supersonic jet at up to two-and-one-half times the speed of sound (Mach 2.5) and above 80,000 feet, where one can see the curvature of the Earth and the blackness of space

Air France Concorde, flying Mach 2.03 at 60,000 feet, required only 160,000 Delta SkyMiles.

If Concorde was still flying, I personally believe it would be a far better deal...
