Step 1: Use an online travel agency, or matrix.itasoftware.com to determine what the cheapest one-way cash fare is.
Step 2: Determine if you can get a Coach-class award redemption using AA or UA miles. If so, determine what the cost would be to purchase the necessary miles, and pay any taxes/fees associated with the award redemption. (Hint: UA is currently offering a bonus on the purchase of their miles, which are redeemable on carriers like AC, OZ, SQ, and TG, some combination of which may be needed to get to DPS with UA miles.)
3. Compare the cost of #1 with the cost of #2. Voila!
