Well what I meant was, you airfare is coming cheap mostly for two reasons: off season travel and larger airport departure. So, the milegae redeem could be a good deal if you were travelling on a peak season and leaving from a smaller airport.

Since you dont have an airline credit card, why dont you apply for one where u can transfer your bank card miles. That way you will earn at least 30k bonus miles in addition to your 56k. That should earn u a free round trip ticket to ktm from any airports in US
