With the decay of the Australian dollar, tickets have gone up a lot recently. Consequently, I now often purchase return tickets where the outbound leg is in F and the inbound leg is in J. I routinely use the skywards miles to upgrade the inbound flight to F, or else I use them to upgrade friends or family who are flying Y. Consequently I generally have few Skyward miles. 934 at the moment! Waiting for the 20,000 odd miles to come from Citi, as I use my MasterCard to book online. Hoping the Pacific Peso (AUD) improves at some stage.
