Can
I combine air miles from different companies?
June 16, 2007 - I have over 160,000 frequent flier miles on
Delta and 100,000 miles on American Airlines. And yet over

unless I double them. For two people traveling to Europe,
it used to cost 25,000 miles each way. So we could have made
the round-trip for 100,000 miles. Now the price has double
to 200,000 miles. Is there any way to combine Delta and American
miles for award travel on a partner airline?
