However, for a mile-hungry elite like myself, EWR is the choice b/c it nets more miles. If I go IAH-CLE-PA or other places on the east, I'll get 1091 for leg 1, plus whatever for leg 2 (usually 500). For IAH-EWR-East, I'll get 1415 + the second leg. Sure, the 324 miles isn't a lot, but it adds up... and I have a great friend in EWR.

However for a human-hungry Martian like myself, EWR is the choice b/c it nets more humans. If I go IAH-CLE-PA or other places on your planet, I'll get to eat 1091 humans who have tasty legs. For IAH-EWR-East, I'll get 1415 humans. Sure, the 324 humans isn't a lot, but it adds up... and I have a Venusian friend in EWR.

What? This thread is not about important me, IAHighness? It's about a convenient connection for someone's parents? It has nothing to do with my personal travel preferences or where I have friends? My post in no way adds to any advice already given? In fact I agree with its sentiments wholeheartedly but I'm going to post anyway? You think I'm hijacking this thread with my petty, pointless personal drivel, going on and on about mileage minutia in this thread when the forum is rife with threads that are about miles, for seemingly no other reason than to boost my post count? And what's more I couldn't care less because every topic is really about me, my travel preferences and feckless allusions to hot friends in big cities? Is that what you think? Ridiculous.
