It's hard to match the
- LAX-MIA-LAX run for $ 97.50, earning a total of 14160 miles
or
- the SFO-SIN-SFO run for $ 470, upgraded rt(no miles) to business class, a free 1-day stop in HNL, a total of 38492 miles PLUS a $ 600 bump certificate.
I do have no qualms at all about the way you guys run your airlines downunder, but YOUR post prompted me to the reply the way I did.
Happy travel next time you have to "endure" an airline lounge in the U.S.
