DL breaks down intra-China miles as such:
Miles shown are each way based on round-trip purchase.
*Short haul is 1-800 km.
**Med haul is 800-3,000 km.
***Long haul is 3,000-5,000 km.
Where:
Short haul Y/J is 6K/7.5K OW
Med haul Y/J is 15/17.5K
Long haul Y/J is 30/45K
Question, does anyone how this is calculated?
Say I fly PVG-XXX-YYY, is the distance calculated as the sum of PVG-XXX plus XXX-YYY, or PVG-YYY?
