I thought this was a good idea until I checked- 122,000 aeroplan miles for a 3 day weekend at the Best Western!!! Wow- I will have to look for a ticket- maybe the inter-europe idea is not a bad one, however the taxes and fees again are quite high- to North America I am flying very frequently on these routes anyway so I don't really need to cram another trip in. Perhaps some BOSE headphones could be the answer?
