You on the other hand don't have to buy your Lamborghini, a Chevy Malibu might do the job, so yes, that calculation would be wrong.
Delta pays you? So you book one flight.. for $1,000 then you book another an they give you $400? That's what you're saying.
You're getting a reduced rate if you NEST a flight in that happens to be cheaper.
I've rented a few Malibu's. They're just not for me.
