Flying just for bonus miles
I know this board has a bunch of nuts (myself among them) who fly to earn or requal for elite status. Is there anyone here that flies just to earn the miles? With the triple miles in march, I'm considering heading to Europe with my dad via the US just for the miles - we're both 1Ps. Am I nuts? Also, would I earn triple miles plus elite bonus or is base miles + elite bonus tripled?
thanks
