There is no question. Different companies have different policies abut the use of frequent flier miles acquired on business trips. Most of them allow it for personal travel. (As in the movie "Up in the Air")
There is also currently no income tax on the use of frequent flier business miles for personal travel.
Current tax policy and company policy should be followed. I do not see this as an ethical question. When I acquired miles on over 100 business trips, I considered it as a reward for undergoing the extra stress and incovenenience of the trips and the preapration for them. My company at that time considered requiring the mileage to be creidited to the company travel account, but eventually decided against it.
I agree with DrWLS. However, some companies consider the free miles their property, as they paid for the travel. So ethically, it is a matter of your employer: You agree when you went to work for them you would abide by all their lawful policies. Ethically, I would abide by my employer's policies first.
