Miles earned (or otherwise procured) would go towards the same route most likely.

My budget for flying is always bottom-dollar. My organization points me toward purchasing through an agency that specializes in travel for humanitarian workers. The result I notice with others is different airlines used every year. I currently hold a mere 33k miles on Continental and 42k on Delta (some cc bonus miles for both also expected). I'd be so grateful for any targeted advice!

I worry this post isn't the right way to go about this, but I've searched these forums until dizzy, notice this way of seeking help worked for some, and am possibly weeks from FT feeling intuitive for me. I AM thankful for finding this community, and hope to one day have some wisdom to contribute here also.

Many thanks..
