Just read this....Airline Adds Plastic Surgery to Rewards Program ....Finnair, Finland's largest airline, is offering free plastic surgery as part of its loyalty rewards program.
Passengers can earn enough points to get a hair replacement, breast augmentation, or a facelift from Nordstroem Hospital in Helsinki as part o...f the Finnair Loyalty Plus service, a story by the Hurriyet Daily News said. A breast augmentation would cost 3.18 million miles, which would be the equivalent of 120 round-trip business class trips from Helsinki to New York, the story said, while a facelift would require 4.64 million miles.
Finnair added plastic surgery to its list of rewards a month ago, the story said. About 1.3 million fliers are enrolled in the rewards program.
