I priced out a BTV-PLB round-trip on the US web site for Monday 10/30/2000....first possible outbound and return flights. Indeed, the fare shows up in the fare quote for $106 I think, but the total price including tax for a Y8 fare is $157.00. So that makes 6 rt trips = $942. Per above calcs, a non-elite would earn 72,000 miles. Thats $.013 a mile. Still seems like a pretty good deal to get 72,000 miles in a day for $942. It's like paying $13 for 1,000 miles. This is almost enough miles for a business class ticket to Europe, which is going to cost you more than $942 if you had to buy it. Plus this would be enough to quallify for the Silver Challenge via flying 10 segments.
