have you done any cost projections? what are they...thanks....good luck.
I think I could realisticly expect to buy miles at .025. If I could find business class tickets at the lowest level they would cost about $1800 US to Europe. Even if I had to double down it would be $4500 for a fully flexable fully refundable ticket. While shopping for my hubby in March I was not finding any tickets less than $4500 LAX to LHR and they were restricted and nonrefundable.

It does require a substantial investment ahead of time which I suppose most don't like. I would not consider this for NW and Delta until they are cleared from the Bk court.
