"Expensive Flights, Use Miles?"
(Jul 2, 08)

1. In the last three months have you used your miles for an award ticket that you normally would have purchased because the cost of the flight has gone up so much recently?
Yes
No
No, but I tried - couldn't get the award flight I wanted.

2. Do you anticipate using your miles for an award ticket that you normally would have purchased because the cost of the flight has gone up?
Yes
No

3. Do you see your frequent flyer miles as more valuable now that tickets are more becoming more expensive?
Yes
No
Yes, but I'm afraid that the airlines might raise the cost in miles for award tickets.
