It's good to check the double miles promotions at the AA web-site to see if there is anything out of your city. I am going ORD to DFW to LAX and back again instead of going direct. Each segment has it's own double miles promotion. I had an AA certificate for $20 off a $219 fare, so for $199 I will get 2X802, 2X1200 each way.That's 8000 miles, then 1000 for booking on-line and 500 for the sports federation bonus. That's about 9500 miles for $200. The trip pays for itself.
