Frequent flier miles for plastic surgery

Most frequent flier programs trade miles for things like free flights or stays in a hotel. But Finland’s biggest airline, Finnair Oyj, has come up with a new twist on its awards program. It’s offering free plastic surgery in exchange for air miles.

According to the airline’s Finnair Plus website, it takes 1.32 million points for lower lid surgery. The surgery would be performed by Nordstrom Hospital in Helsinki, Finland. A consultation with the hospital is needed first, according to the website.

Earning the 3.18 million points for breast augmentation surgery requires 120 round-trip, business-class flights between Helsinki and New York, according to Bloomberg.
