I see some comments as cost per mile calculations. Can some one tell me how this is calculated and again what should be a a good CPM. Thanks for all the assistance.
means many things. The forum usually judges if it is good or not. Good deals get many buyers and the thread stays fresh till the fare is pulled, the not so great deals quickly vanish into the forum back pages.
good deals "usually" include;
underpriced compared to the usual fares for the city pairs, route, season of travel and airline.
low cpm (less than 8cpm??)
unusually easy access to otherwise hard to get airline cabins (SQ suites, EY residence etc.)
cpm is, cost in USD *100 /miles of the exact route
(to and from return, as calculated from gcmap website.)
Excluding any mileage bonuses for the cabin and your status.
e.g.
2000 usd for a 2500 mile one way route is 40 cpm.
