Add to del.icio.usUS Airways is one of the few carriers that have no restrictions on how many airline miles you can buy annually.
There’s a 50,000 mile limit per purchase, but no limit to the number of purchases.
The cost of US Airways Dividend Miles is 3.5 cents per mile, plus tax, which enables Star Alliance members to obtain discount Business Class airfares at enormous savings.

All this augurs well for obtaining a discount Business Class airfare to the Middle East.
Best play: Lufthansa’s Portland-Dubai requires only 115,000 miles for an upgraded discount Business Class airfare. With the mileage purchase strategy, you save more than 50% on Business Class airfares to the Middle East.
Is there a way to use Capital One points for some of these FlightBliss deals???
I am going to St. Barts via St. Maarten (SXM) on Friday Nov. 16, I am having trouble getting better seats and many upgrade, any suggestions. They have me sitting inthe back of the plane which I hate to do. Going from Newark on Continental. I do not fly this airline often. I fly USair or Air trans. continental only when travel to abroad. thank you
Looking for tips to Bologna Italy from SFO, Oakland, or LAX
Do the math on 3.5 cents per mile to buy tickets at USAir. For a 50,000 mil award you pay $1,750. That is not cheap......
