Many of us being avid FF's, flying to a DO is part of what it's all about. In fact, the further the DO, the better we like it.
You can always tell when someone is not totally into maximizing miles and points when you see comments like these:
* "Hey, finally a DO that's close to home. I just might attend!!"
* "Wow, that DO is close enough that I might even drive!!"
DO's are about making new friends, sharing FT war stories and seeing how far you can travel and how long you can stay for the fewest $$'s and the most points/miles.
