I have almost 100k FF miles with AA for that reason. I've been getting such cheap flights it seemed silly to use the miles for domestic travel. But the NYT articles about the condition of the airlines are a little scary....

I hadn't heard that 350. was the sensible cutoff, but had arrived at about that amount intuitively. I can get us from NY to San Francisco for 334. each non stop. Not on AA, so I wouldn't get FF miles. Does anybody think it's worth it to have to change planes for the FF miles? I think maybe it is. It'll cost the same ($10. more) on AA, but you have to change planes in St. Louis. Opinions? I don't hate changing planes. Though at Christmas weather can cause delays and you could miss your connection, I guess.

I was on the phone with a friend in NYC who just got back from LA, and she said it cost her almost $400. for airport taxis (four taxi trips, to the airport, to her destination from the airport, and vice versa) and less than that for her ticket to LA.

It'll cost us almost $200. just for the taxi part of our trip, too.

Edit: I just checked Hotwire.com, and I could do it for 265. each but I can't know either the airline or flight time until I've bought the tickets. And no changes or credits.
