Nope this isn't a joke. My Girlfriend's family live in Minot (MOT) and I was looking at taking a trip with her. Destination would be from LAX - MOT. There is no direct flight (stops are either in MSP or DEN). Wanted some advice on whether I should use miles (I have 120k Amex and 120k Chase pts) or jus tpay the $446 roundtrip ticket. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!!
