I agree with the consensus that LH would be the way to go...
You are correct, it is a 25% plus after 35000 mls in a year. I have done the math without this benefit, as I did not know if josahub was flying it in a year.
Okay, here we go
First trip is (2 x 9890) x 2 = 39560.
You will become FTL in the air, so no benefit for this flight.
Second and all other trips ((2 x 9890) x 2) x 25% = 49450
So after three trips it app. 138460 mls on LH.
I again should mention, that you could become SEN after two flights in a year (e.g. if you have one in 2006 and 2 in 2007). So, if you only do two in a year you should consider to book a short flight to get you the last 1100 mls. It is well worth it.
