To the OP -
Based on the information in your post, this is not a good deal. Airfares right now are $178 (US, AirTran, ATA, Frontier, and AmericaWest). Since you don't seem to care when you go or on what airline, why spend an additional $112 to $122?
Most mileage runners have a limited number of airlines that they collect mileage in, and want to confine their mileage runs to those airlines. If that is the case with you, it would be helpful if you told us what airlines you want to consider, so we don't waste our time researching fares on airlines you don't want to fly. Ditto with specific dates.
By the way, welcome to Flyertalk.
