Two of them had a higher CPM because of positioning flights, which I was happy to do because each meant 10,000 PQM in one weekend.
My MRs comprise 25% of my revenue travel this year on UA; they were 3.5 CPM. My father unfortunately lives on an expensive short-haul route (51.3 CPM for the trips we made, but lower published fares are available for the upcoming season, though no flights are on the schedule), so my overall CPMs for 54k will run 10.2 CPM.
