Thanks for all of this useful advice! And I appreciate the caution about landing domestic award segments. I'm still a bit confused whether I understand the relative redemption levels correctly, as per the second question in my original post, since this seems out of kilter. But I guess that's just the way it is. Still, if anyone can shed light on this, I'd appreciate it:
2. Unless I'm reading the award charts wrong, it can cost almost as many SkyMiles flying to SEZ from SFO (60K at lowest redemption level each way in J) as from Europe or Africa (50K). Do I have that right?
