With no plans in the foreseeable future of any travel on AI, i am looking for suggestions/advise on what to do with these orphaned miles.
1. Star Alliance
Redemption using AI-FR starts @ 25,000 for round-trip - 50% for one-way.
2. Star Alliance
Upgrades using AI-FR starts @ 11,500 one-way.
3. AFAIK, AI-FR allows pairing Husband-Wife FFP accounts. Call them up to get info on your case.
4. If all else fails, I would be happy to receive those miles, as an early Christmas present..!!
