I saw this article in a recent Washington Post.

So I am wondering whether or not I can use this for a mile run. I'm thinking that if I go from IAD to NRT as a courier, stay one night, and then fly back the next day, that's 17,000 miles in one shot. And it's dirt cheap, too. Looks like the fares will run around $200 and they may be even lower if I'm willing to fly out at a moment's notice.

Some companies let you get the miles, others do not. Obviously, I'd go with one that gives miles.

Talk about a cheap way to get miles fast!
