This appears to be the issue that AIR MILES has addressed as you can now find flight redemption options below that 1,200 mark.For example, here is a flight between Vancouver and London Heathrow: As you can see in the above example, you can see that you only have to redeem 500 AIR MILES for this flight but still have to pay $751…
