f. Yes, 250k miles sounds about right (maybe a little high) depending on your itineraries.
Thanks, Darren. My calculations (point(b)) were based on the mistaken assumption that the Platinum bonus got applied to the class-boosted miles, i.e, (4710+2190)*1.25 +(2190)*1.25= 11363. This is how I probably got to higher overall totals (point (f)) than seemed right to you because for the rest of the trip I was applying the 100% (which is what I meant not 200%, thanks) Platinum bonus to the actual miles after being boosted by 50% from first-class travel, through the rest of the AONE trips.
