Agreed. $500+ transcons would be the break even point where this starts to make sense. Of course, unless one is short on time.

I did MRs to ANC from the east coast last fall for around $600-650 a piece. That nets around 10K a trip. Much better deal, although you're spending a lot of time on a plane.
