Thanks.
I think you mean 5 cpm..... .05 cpm would be super cheap, almost free.

I have had to position myself to Dayton, Ohio to pick up some great deals in the past....also to San Diego and Seattle. I use miles for one-ways and creative routing to get back home.

Keep updated on deals from anywhere, one will come along so cheap, it will be worth the price to get to the starting aerodrome.
