Buying with points worked really well for me. Round trip to Ukraine for 60K points when airfare was all $1700+
This can work out well, especially so for flying J and F. For example Alaska is selling miles for just 2 cents a piece right now. That would get you a one way on Japan Airlines to Tokyo for about $1180, no way could you buy a business class seat that cheap. For another 5000 miles you can get to SE Asia. Plus they allow a free stop over, even on a one way ticket.
Sometimes buying FF miles if space is available is a great deal.
