Old System:
F ticket - $4493.97
SkyChoice - 90,000 Miles
New System:
F ticket - $4493.97
SkyChoice - Most likely unavailable because this is one of "those" routes.
Pay with 90,000 Miles (assuming 1 mile = $.01) = $4493.97 - $900 = $3593.97
Pay with 90,000 Miles (assuming 1 mile = $.05) = $4493.97 - $4500 = Free
