I agree things are looking up. I just booked 6 award tickets using Sky Miles from SVO to OVB and got them for 25k each and was charged only $5 each to redeem them. I'm curious how far I can get from OVB into Eastern Europe on a 25k redemption award. Technically, OVB is Asia and SVO is Europe so this allows 25k to go a long way (literally

)
