Heh. You're funny!
Likely not related to this sale, but flight to Australia are currently available available for as low as 36.8K miles in economy for numerous dates. This is the lowest I've ever seen for flights to AU outside of a few specific sales where I think they were slightly lower for a very short period of time. Even over chrismas/new year they were going for sub-40K miles which is unheard of for that time of year!

That was on a 39.6K economy seat SFO-BNE. I didn't see the price on the return as PP was filling up so I instead paid an extra ~30K miles to change to PP instead (70K total)

I think the award equivalent must be about 30k miles
- doubt we'll see that. I'll take 60K...

Certain OZ will be one day, but E- is already discounted there so that may not amount to much. Prob mid winter to Europe too, northern cities that are cold as hell. Maybe China, of which i have nada interest.
