    Alitalia is doing away with the current migglemelia frequent flier points. Until Dec. 31 I can buy ecoupons which will expire in a year or I can hold off and must book the miles by June 30th or they will expire. I have 20,000 miles. Is it best to buy the ecoupons or book with miles?

    We are flying from Cleveland to Venice on July 17 and must be in Venice before 11 am on July 18. We are flying back on July 25 from Rome back to Cleveland. I am looking to see if I can book this either with mileage or paying the ticket and upgrading with mileage. We have 218,000 points and I have no idea as to how to make this work.
    Any ideas would be most appreciated.
    Thank you
