YMMV, so to speak.

Repeating the above scenario (BRU-LAX) 3 times would yield 95,868 miles, more than enough to get an award to the US in business class. It would be quite foolish (no offense!
) to redeem these miles for economy seats but the C awards look attractive, not even to mention a trip in F for 100,000 miles, a ticket that normally costs 5,100+ € from BRU (8,300 € from CDG
).
For most of us this is probably the only way to afford a trip in C or F. OK, I have to admit the average Joe with no status will have to spend much more money (twice actually) to get these 31,956 miles...
