In early May I booked IND-ATL-AMS, AMS-DTW-IND for 10 days at the end of June. Main cabin for 80,000 skymiles plus $70 for what was, at the time, a $1300 fare. I was then able to chose Comfort Plus seats after booking. So a redemption of about 1.5 cents per mile, better than the pay with miles options. Fares for summer travel, both dollars and miles, have gone up since then.
When I booked I was hoping the testing requirement would be lifted before going, so that worked out.
