3. 60k air miles and $20.

I am leaning towards burning some air miles. What would you do and is there an option I haven't thought about?

You can usually find RT air tickets for $150 or so. Look for sales and it can be even better.

Some airlines have cheaper awards on short flights. Without knowing what programs you have miles in, and the dates , it’s a bit of a guessing game.
