6,000 miles at 2.7 cpm is $162
94,000 miles at 4.5 cpm is $4320
This is above the stated $3,000 to $3,500 to become 1K.
To put this into perspective, getting 94,000 miles at 4.5 cpm is the equivalent to doing 19 transcon flights at a price of $225 each.
Possible. Maybe. Probable. Not so sure.
And, my question is not answered. All of this implies nothing flown in W fare which implies no use of GPUs for > 10 hour flights. And, if that's true, then what's the point? Wouldn't it be better to stay home and have a long nap and a nice meal?
