The sole goal of every trip is to maximize miles per dollar spent; vacation is secondary.

And yes, I fly for the nuts

As far as pure mileage runs (never stepping foot outside the secure area), I'd peg my mileage at about 40%. Of the MarchMadness® bookings so far, ~12K are vacation and ~13.5K are pure MR's. 3 weekends still open
