Help! How to calculate cost per mile on my first MR

Okay so I am planing my first mileage run here in June I normally fly United and I found ABQ-LAX-OGG and returning the same way for 920.80 dollars (total the base fare is $860) and flying a total round trip of 6,326 Miles so now I am trying to find out how to find the cost per mile for this trip to see if its worth it

920.8 $ / 6326 Miles = 14,5 cpm .... So a fare is usually considered a mileage run worthy fare, if the cpm is 5 or lower for economy class.

The rest you may be able, to conclude for yourself...

Oh, and by the way ... You might want to look at the FAQ`s on how the mileage run and mileage run discussion forums work .
