I just finished researching flights for a friend who wants to take a vacation and spend as little as possible (don't we all?). But, the catch is, he wants to maintain his UA status and thus needed the trip to net him 20,000+ miles.
After fiddling around with the UA site, I came up with the following and wanted to get some feedback as to whether or not this is a good deal. Certainly not a mileage run (as it's over 5cpm) but I thought it was pretty good, considering most of my I-don't-care-what-the-cpm-is-vacations come in at over 10...
SEA-LAX (20hrs)
LAX-NRT-HKG (23hr55min)
NRT-SIN(9days)
SIN-NRT(4hr40min)
NRT-HNL(23+hrs)
HNL-SFO-SEA
The total was 6.1cpm (under $2,500 for two). Should I book it, or can I do better? Personally, I thought this was pretty good, but I'd be interested in hearing your take
