I used 120,000 miles. That's a

Yeah, this is the way to go for sure. My husband and I recently traveled PHL to NRT, returning from Seoul (him) and Shanghai (me) in business and first class all the way for 90,000 miles each. I would much rather cash miles in on higher premium airfares than domestic fares where premium is not as important. (Ie, I'd rather use miles for business class on a 12 hr. international flight with flat beds, than first on a 4 hour flight domestic on a 320.)
