Back in the Spring of 1983, I redeemed 75,000 miles for 2 UA F tickets ANC-SFO-HNL-PDX-ORD-BOS-ORD-SEA-ANC. Nice for someone living in PDX

I also redeemed 75,000 TW miles in 1987 and used them for 2 F seats PDX-SEA-JFK-CAI-BOM-CAI-CDG-JFK-SEA-PDX.

Recently? Last year I used 120,000 miles for one DL BE seat for PDX-NRT-SIN-NRT-PDX. And that was for a last-minute business trip,no real fun.

Just goes to show how the programs have changed over the years since their inception in the early 1980's.
