Alright so I am looking at a trip from BUF-LAS next month and this is what I found.

Depart:
BUF-IAD = 1125
IAD-MSY = 2149
MSY-LAX = 3758
LAX-LAS = 1125

Return:
LAS-DEN = 1411
DEN-PHL = 3488
PHL-CLT = 1125
CLT-BUF = 1229

All of the total miles include the elite status bonus, the DEQM promo but does not include any class of service bonus due to getting cheap tickets.

The total cost of the trip would be $253.30 all but the PHL-CLT and CLT-BUF segments are on United metal and the other two are operated by US Airways.

I guess I am trying to find out if this is a good deal, if I am calculating the miles correct and if I would get the DEQM on the flights operated by US Airways? I know that has been discussion on this before but am unable to find the thread.

If my fellow FTers find anything that is better I would love some input, as this is my first MR.

Thaks in advance for your assistance... Safe Travels!
