to travel with 2 Business class tickets from Milan to NYC. I would need to purchase about 90,000 (if this was a reward ticket).

When I go through the booking process, I get a $ 380 reduction in my tickets, if I apply the 80,000 points/miles. Using that logic, I will spend $ 2,700 for those miles.

If I only get another $ 400 reduction in my ticket price...then I guess I will not be worth buying a additional miles then, correct?
