I'm wondering what the minimum spend would be to 1 million miles. Maybe an Eastern Canada-Europe flight pass? Just go as far east as you can in Europe.

Any thoughts?
With these being your first post, welcome to FT.

As per cow, FPs are not necessarily the cheapest way to get MM.

For a regular FP, you'd have to purchase and actually use up each credit. This is time and money.
For a UFP, it's at best zero time but money.

For carefully planned a la carte bookings, this is time (for researching/booking/jumping onto sales/etc., and the actual flying) and less money if planned out.
