There are some non-obsessive people out there who really believe that these tickets ARE free. They acquired the miles through credit card spending or some such and thus attach no perceived dollars spent to them. I know of many folks who would cash in 25k miles for domestic awards (and I, too, fly out of LCC heaven, MCO) and take the $200 and spend it on something that they cannot get with FF miles.
