Southwest offers potentially the best deal for people who travel short-hauls for business. For example, four MCI-STL R/Ts at $100 each could become a (near) transcontinental free ticket. Of course, I agree that it's unfair to compare Southwest, Frontier, and AWA to the worldwide earnings opportunities on AA, UA, etc. They are just different beasts.
Sweet deal going on right now: 2 free tix on Midwest Express to New Orleans (from selected cities, MCI being one of them) for 25K. Considering that paid New Orleans fares are rarely rock-bottom, and this is a near-first-class experience, I think this is a great bang for your mile.

Spider: the 15k award for a free ticket is Frontier's standard award. To enroll in their program, simply use the "enroll" button under EarlyReturns on their homepage at www.frontierairlines.com.

Air Canada allows AC Elite (*A Gold) to claim a companion short-haul Y fare ticket for 10,000 pts (code S0119)
They also have a promotion for short-haul Y fare redemptions during a specific period for 12,000 pts (code S0101)... not bad.
My favorite is YYZ-HKG for 50,000 pts.

Valid 1 September - 15 December, book by 31 October. Cash in AA miles for trans-Pacific travel on CX (domestic on AA). All travel is in economy.
40,000 miles - U.S. to Hong Kong.
45,000 miles - U.S. to most cities in Asia CX serves.
55,000 miles - U.S. to Middle East, India, South Africa, or Australia.
Stopovers allowed in U.S. gateway city (CX departure city) and in Hong Kong.
Extremely excellent deal I must say. Wife and I are taking advantage of it in late-October. Be advised that cities in Japan and Vietnam are not on the list anymore (to our extreme disappointment)!
This is basically a 3 continent trip if you work it right(DFW-LAX, LAX-HKG, HKG-JNB for example).

Best deal I had was 17,500 miles from LAX to Brazil (either GIG or GRU) R/T. Less to fly to Brazil than domestic ticket!! This was with CO. They do have specials once in a while. They also had US-DUS/FRA for 20,000 miles. I think these are unbeatable!!
Special usually is announced in September for OCT-NOV flights... stay tuned.

With Continental, you get a ticket between Florida and Alaska for 20,000 miles.

N2FLY; What you posted is what i consider a good use of the hard earned ff miles. I certainly would appreciate if you let me know when you find similar or better. Since the airlines are lowering their fares I hope they will run some great ff specials,too!

Best, once they come out, I will be happy to update this board. However, if you have OP miles, you should check the CO website daily starting in September. Once the special is available, they go very quickly since it is extremely capacity controlled. You must be flexible with your dates and destinations.
Good Luck
