Can you help me understand how you calculate this? I am new at this.

I used award nexus to calculate the routes you suggested and it came out as 19456 miles. Is that how you are calculating the route?

AA miles economy come out at 100k miles, so 300k for the three of us.

Where does the 70k come from?

Thanks.
