Correct, but you've likely received over 10 pm's by this point offering to sell you the miles.
Don't pay more than 1.3 for them if you do, but which is not allowed on DDF.

It actually is allowed, as the airline sells them themself...

So here you are riki831 - that's one (expensive) way to buy them...

not allowed on ddf means not allowed to buy or sell here...what you do in ur life out of ddf is ur own business. According to airline, u not allowed to buy/sell from/to others, but you can buy directly from them.

maybe print my post and hang it above ur computer, so that next time someone new asks about miles, you can copy it word for word without having to hint-very unclearly-at the point u were trying to make
