MilesBuzz! - Mileage Distance Tool?
Is anybody aware of any tools that allow to input a starting airport, mileage requirement, plus bonus miles and give me airports to fly too, to get the required miles? Ideally even with a pricing option.
So let's say I need 63000 miles, I'll get 100% elite bonus, and there is a promo for 7000 miles going, and I'm starting at DFW now the programm will give me routings to several airports with prices which would yield the miles.

I don't think this exists.

Not exactly what you are looking for but Webflyer.com has a tool for computing mileage between airports. Under the more options you can put in your bonus mileage.
If you go to http://gc.kls2.com (link also available on www.freewebs.com/flyingisfun ) you can calculate distance between airports, and they will add up segments for the entire trip.
Just multiply total for your elite/FC bonus, and add in bonus yourself at the end. Beware: it does NOT calculate 500-mile minimums.
I don't think site will give you airports to fly to based on miles; just do approximations. Beside, it's more practical to look at fares and destinations than pure mileage.

I use Flying Fish, but I don't know if that has all of the functionality you want it to have.

Thanks all for the reply's. I was familiar with the suggested tools and sites.
I'm more interested in something that'll map out possible routings for me based on the miles I want earn, because I was thinking of writing such a tool, but wanted to check first if it's already available before I spend the time on it.
