If that's the case, I must be a complete idiot, because I roughly pay 600 Euro for travels to the west coast of the USA from Europe, and barely get 5k miles. (25%).
I would not spend more than 600 euros just for the miles. For travel I would pay more of course. But if I am flying
just to gain miles, I would not spend more than the miles are worth. Otherwise your'e just losing money
The value of the miles greatly depends on what you use them for. If you normally buy Business or First like Zembla, the value of the miles will be considerably more than 1 cent. However if you normally don't pay over 800 euros for a TATL roundtrip, I stick to the 1 cent/mile value.
