By using the maximum cash option I get :

Cash Paid = $92

Miles needed = 5,500 (let's say 6,000 since LM only allows you to purchase 1k increments)

Cash paid for miles = 6x$30 = 180

Booking fee = $25

Total cash = $297

So if I cancelled this booking, I would receive 13,000 miles in my account? Is this correct?
You forgot the cancellation fee ($50) ?
