What is considered a good deal in PE?

While I have a sense of good deal for MR in economy, what is considered a good deal in PE? Also do I calculate my PM double miles into that formula? Sorry if this is covered elsewhere.

A 'good deal' in the PE and Premium thread is not as cut and dry as <X CPM. In these threads there is a combination of really great fares (i.e. would make MRing an option) as well as fares that are not MR quality but are a good price for a given route. The classic example in the Premium Fares thread would be the annual USA-Europe Thanksgiving fares. They aren't so low that most people would MR on them, but they are a good price if you were debating a vacation or happen to need to be in Europe.

As for calculating CPM, you should calculate EQM and state on what program(s) as COS bonuses vary by program. Bonus RDMs, such as those granted by status, are generally ignored unless there is some special reason they are important (i.e. there is a triple miles promo on X program for the route).

Great. That help set me out. With DL/VA I might start flying PE and was trying to get a sense of prices/ value.
