Well what are you trying to get? Just status? Or do you want miles, eUps, etc.?

And do you mean efficient for time, or efficient for money? I found a route for the new Earn Your Wings contest that was below my cost threshold, but the time investment was too large.

Personally, I like my runs to start Friday night, as I'm usually back by Saturday evening. This typically means I need a red-eye from west to east, which means something reasonably long-haul. So for me, miles are more efficient.

But I'm not going to MR to 100k. If I'm not doing any real flying, status is worth very little
