I am seeing some TPAC coach flights out of SEA (possibly others too) where the cost of purchasing the flight with SM is less than the miles needed for an award. If no SM earned, that complicates the equation. TIA.
Are you sure you're seeing TPAC flights that would earn more miles than they cost? Remember that award charts show one way prices in miles even though one way award tickets cost as many miles as a RT.
