What booking class did it ticket in?
Also, did you accidentally read the RT column for that entire routing on milecalc instead of the OW? Post below is right, it's slightly less than 22K.

Webflyer gives it 41,460 r/t non-elite miles not counting the final JFK-TPA leg which is 1010 miles. BTW an extra stop can be added JFK-MXP-DXB. Ticketed in X--which is 50% credit, am I correct?

Routing through MXP, you get 21,958 miles. If you do TPA-JFK-DXB-BKK and back it is 21,808 miles. On AS this earns 50% which will be 10,904 miles, or 10,979 miles.
You are suggesting that this flight is the equivalence of the around the world, nearly twice. Common math suggests that is impossible.
Your CPM would then be 8.1 CPM.

Try it on webflyer mileage calculator tpa-jfk-dxb-bkk-dxb-jfk-tpa (I didn't add the mxp stop in there, but it would be more). Can the webflyer calculator be wrong? Common sense says it can't be correct, but that is what it's adding up to.

The planet isn't big enough for JFK-DXB-BKK and back to be over 40K. Compare it to EWR-LAX-SIN, which is less than 25K.

Here's the problem: you've entered the entire route. Webflyer thinks you are flying tpa-jfk-dxb-bkk-dxb-jfk-tpa-jfk-dxb-bkk-dxb-jfk-tpa. For the right number, only enter one half of a mirrored routing.

**Edit you all beat me to it
It doesn't. 44K is about RTWx2
Its coming up as OP is putting the full RT routing minus TPA (since there are not enough fields) but using the RT routing results section. RT calculation is based on the entered cities x2 its assuming its the same routing both ways
Travel Route:
Tampa Intl, Tampa, FL (TPA) to
John F Kennedy Intl, New York City, NY (JFK) to
Dubai Intl Arpt, Dubai, AE (DXB) to
Bangkok Intl Arpt, Bangkok, TH (BKK) to
Dubai Intl Arpt, Dubai, AE (DXB) to
John F Kennedy Intl, New York City, NY (JFK)
