Your idea makes allot of sense Belle. If you fly, the airline still has to give you the miles but has the added marginal cost of you travelling. In fact, if the airlines were smart (well we can hope ) about it they could generate substantial revenue this way. Given the number of people who fly simply to requalify for FF. status, I think that the interest would be there. Now, if only BA would sell you all the miles you wanted for two cents a mile I would be in FF. heaven.

To the grammar and spelling police: There are many after-school programs that would welcome your pedantic type of help (though you might have to brush up on some social skills first ). I am not particularly interested in getting lectured about these subjects on FT (where many of us just bash out a quick response in-between things) and anyway, language is in a constant state of flux and is not a static medium. It is not Ye olde FT, it is FT for goodness sakes.
