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.
