700k would mean 1918 miles every day * 365 days / per year !!! Even with the 25 % bonus it´s 1535 miles ( Y ) , or around 770 in ( C ) each day of the year ! That would mean minimum 2 h. each day in a LH plane ! Or every 3. - 4. day one long haul flight !

This is not entirely correct - from a live experience it equates to about 5 or 6 short hauls a week. A shorthaul does not automatically mean 2 hrs each time. It comes easily when your home airports nonstops are limited even within Europe and you need to connect for the majority of the trips.

Add the odd longhaul and you are safely above the level. Of course based on C travel.
