Even DL (which has rediculous J award pricing) offers a lot of domestic award flights between 2.5K and 10K miles each way. In fact, a booked a US-Europe RT award with DL a couple of years ago for something like 36K or 38K miles... in the late spring/early summer. Yeah, I know... intl coach travel. The horror!!!
