Not quite true -- I've used Delta miles to book an award redemption from the US to Iran on Air France. I'm sure one could also redeem for trips on BA, Al Italia, or a couple others.

how about southern Sudan? ET (*A) now have a double-daily ADD-JUB, although they have suspended their service to MAK. MS (also *A) have a daily CAI-JUB. Interesting that as a new capital, JUB seems to have got connected far more quickly than DIL. |

While by no means unreachable it always amazes me how hard it is to get to places in the former Soviet Union using miles (besides Moscow/Petersburg). Even places like Minsk and Kharkov are a real challenge, and they're medium-sized European cities.

How about the Maldives or Koh Samui, Thailand?

I think TK is planning on flying to Somalia.

Lots of the former Soviet Union has become more inaccessible by air than it was 20 years ago. I think Belarus used to have 4-5 passenger airports (I'd say commercial but there was no non-state commerce...). Now there's only one as far as I know. There are similar defunct airports in Ukraine and in Russia. And yes, as stated above there are many, many places in Russia that are a dozen (or more) hours by ground transport to the nearest commercial airport. Even in European Russia that's true. Having lived there for two years, including six months in provincial Russia, it amazes me that a country so large with a history of aircraft production and a large aerospace sector relies so heavily on trains for long-distance passenger transport. I understand the economics but it's to the point that even economically it doesn't make much sense. http://www.tumyeto.com/images/upload..._train_opt.jpg |

However ET flies already to BBO (and will fly to HGA once the airport reopens instead), so it is possible with miles already if you count Somaliland as Somalia. If it's bookable is another question, my attempt with UA miles ended up in quite a story... |

Tuvalu and Kiribati are both served by Air Pacific - which I guess you could in theory use QF, AS or AA miles on, as they are all partners.
Nauru definitely can't be reached using miles, only one flight a week on Our Airline which, has no FF partners. |

Does anyone know if we can redeem AA miles for the QF-codeshare flight on Air North from Darwin to Dili, East Timor?
