I burnt my last 45,000 DL miles on a domestic F ticket on a 757. LGA-ATL-GNV roundrip (757 only LGA-ATL of course)

At the time I was so frustrated with delta that I decided to burn the miles and abandon skyteam. The trip was so awful that I regretted not just buying an economy ticket on US Air connecting in Charlotte, which would have avoided DL domestic F, the DL terminal at LGA, and ATL- all of which are infernal.

I should have sat on those miles, as they could have gone towards an int`l first or business class award someday.

I will never use miles ever again for anything but upgrades, or int`l first and business class awards. I don`t find value in domestic redemptions- I`d rather pay cash and earn miles.
