Airlines periodically reduce the cost in miles for certain awards. Until February 28 of this year, for example, American and United both charged only 15,000 miles for North American flights under 750 miles.

Alaska Airlines offers a similar award sale, with reduced mileage requirements for certain flights. Valid only on specific routes between April 18 and June 8, 2006. See here for complete details.

Northwest also has an award sale, but for cash-and-miles combination awards for travel through June 5. See here for details. This is not necessarily a great offer, since awards must be booked with two weeks’ notice, when cheaper cash fares may still be available. Nonetheless, if you’re traveling to smaller, out-of-the-way airports, this could come in handy.
