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..!!
