3.37 cpm if you work it through Google Flights and add a DFW between the first ORD and SAN.
SAN -> Belize is the cheap leg. SAN-MIA-BZE is currently $228 rt (3.76 cpm)

This is nuts ... in a fun way. If AA Admirals Club had decent foods and facilities, I wouldn't mind doing the trip and checking out the lounges along the way.
What a crazy genius you are!

Yep. I'm glad I did my segment runs and more bizarre itins back in years 1-5 of the hobby, back in the early 90s when those were rewarded much more generously and flying wasn't as much of a pain. That gave way to a bias toward transcons, but these days it's harder to get upgraded on those, so you might as well do fewer, longer trips. I think those of us who aren't bound to biz travel just tend to evolve that way.
