HOU->Lagos ~ 6500 miles.
6500 * 2(RT) * 2.25(DM) * 3(promo) = 87,750
Throw in a fare class bonus *1.5 = 131,625
buy one business class fare, get one free.
Remember that is for non-stop routing (which doesn't exist), so it will be even more.
Looking into it a little bit -- a word to the wise, if originating in IAH and looking for miles, don't use DL54 since its direct with a stop in ATL.
Searching delta.dumb shows itineraries via AMS on KL metal, would this count?
