I agree with most of the comments above. Unless there is a threshold you are trying to meet for an award ticket, I would say no. If you are trying to meet a threshold, then sure $60 certainly could be worth it to take that trip!
If I'm aiming to add skymiles to my account, I would rather do it at no additional cost. Maybe that could work for you as well. For example, the last time I bought luggage I checked the Delta skymiles shopping site. There was an eBags promo for 15 miles per $1 spent. So, I clicked through the Delta site to eBags and added 11,000 miles to my account without spending any additional $$$.
