Can I use my frequent flyer miles to get a free ticket?  :)

Sure, you need 238,857 miles to get to the moon :)

I read an article about the design of this place a month or so ago. A lot of money seems to have been sunk into it but when you look at the ticket charges, I'm sure they can afford it!

Something tells me this is a little over promise/under deliver at this point....
