Hi Folks,
I'm working on a report for the financial people where I work. They are making us calculate the average cost per mile flown this year, along with how many flights, average cost per trip, etc.
My rough findings so far for business travel this year:

$6169.00 - Total airfares paid
43,260 - Actual miles flown (various airlines)
0.14 cents per mile flown
57 segments flown
758 average miles per segment
$216.00 average cost per RT ticket

Maybe I am missing something, but it looks like you already have it done. Maybe you are also trying to compare it so some other average? If so I would be very careful. Different markets, days of week, time of day, etc. etc. have big impacts on cost of tickets. Based on personal knowledge and having no info on your flight patterns, the pricing you have is very good. People with 21 day advance doing redeye flights would be happy to get that rate.
