Haven't had time to play around with it so I don't know if we can get this lower. Work is getting in the way of my travelling again...

I'm doing this itinerary in a week, and even though it's all N, c/o the distance it's still 6K miles. Now, if this was for the UA or DL mileage program...

They're interesting filed fares that are mixed alliances.

The mileage reduction for cheap fares on UA or DL etc is only on RDM. If you rely on a mileage run for RDM, quite frankly you're doing it wrong.

Bad comparison. If it was on UA or DL, then you'd get 100% EQM. Which is 3.3 times what you get if you attempt to credit N fares to AA.

Nice try though.

Not complaining about it either way, but I think the point about mileage running was valid and the sarcastic response wasn't really warranted.
