Andymo - we also looked at IST and Japan for our "status run". NRT, for instance, gave us each about 58,000 miles on a $680 ticket. Finally decided that if we only had 3.5 days at our destination, we'd go somewhere we were at least somewhat familiar with, to minimize familiarization time</font>
Makes sense. Of course from a mileage standpoint, NRT is not as attractive for jeffrey, who is travelling from the left coast, as it is for us in LEX and BOS. For jeffrey, IST and ATH, etc, are farther than NRT.
