<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">DItto on the triple miles year. Award levels were pretty terrific then too. TWA had 65K points for one F ticket to Europe plus a companion for the price of lowest coach and that coach fare didn't need to be available, it could have been sold out. </font>
Try 50,000 miles for that award. It was amazing. I was able to use my last one just a couple years ago. If you didn't use the upgrade portion of the award then TWA would offer you 10,000 miles back.

And don't forget that the upgrade was a double upgrade - from coach all the way to first.

My favorite though that year was the triple miles plus 1,000 miles that PSA was offering. For one SFO-LAX-SAN-LAX-SFO trip you would earn 13,000 miles (750 minimum, tripled, plus the 1,000). For 10,000 miles you would get a free trip anywhere PSA flew plus a free night at any Marriott. Those were the days.
