Since the airlines are flying at low capacities, I would think not only promotions to incent people to fly more but: Why not some specials for using miles when so many seats are empty? I think the airlines could reduce their liability with very little incremental cost by giving an approx. 25% discount for travel awards (i.e. 18K for a RT in US). This would also help boost confidence with more people flying, filling hotels, restaurants, etc.
