AVP-HET would have cost $1200

Used 60,000 miles + $100 taxes and fees

Potential mileage not earned because of burning miles around 17,000

so, 1200/ 77000= .0155

This is a pretty frequent trip for me and sometimes costs more than $1200 but I can nearly always find award availablity so it's a great value for me.

It's a small city in Pennsylvania to a small city in China, so it takes advantage of Delta's still low 60K with decent availablity to Asia.
