Actually it is up to us to judge whether something is ethical or not!

Society determines ethics and morals historically by shunning someone for doing the wrong thing. When we as a society stop telling people what is not right or stop reacting to bad behaviour, then we can ride the slippery slope to the bottom.

"I can print a ticket and hack the server to make the ticket valid. Where would you make the ticket for?".."I know someone that works for the airline that can give me ecredits on my account."... "My cousin gives me a ff bonus every month for different amounts from 10k to 20k." All are wrong!

It is not right to stick a business with 3% or more in cost, just so you can get a few miles or more. Whether that be a large business that can take a pretty good bit of loss before faltering or a small mom and pop that would be devastated by such horrible behaviour.

So ask the question and accept what you get. Along with people telling you that it is unethical.
