Some student fares only allow for the accrual of a maximum of 500 miles per flight segment. Meaning, that if you were to fly DTW-KIX on one of those fares, you'd only get 500 miles for it (even though the flight is 6620 miles). So, before you buy a ticket, make sure it is eligible to earn full mileage.
