MCI-ORD, one-way
BA 4,500 + $5
Best cash price $137 to MDW
Hassle factor $0
WN points forgone - about $13 (give or take)
Savings $119
Value per mile $0.026


Almost tempted to give myself a "negative hassle factor" since ORD was more convenient for this trip to the NW Chicago 'burbs. But AA wanted $240 for a one-way trip, which is beyond asinine. $137 to Chicago is asinine enough.

I was happy to use Avios for this one. Never thought I'd need points/miles of any kind for Chicago, a route that used to commonly be $60-70 each way including taxes.
