If a domestic ticket costs less than $400, I would generally buy it and save the 25k FF miles towards a transatlantic upgrade. Plus you get to earn more FF miles (and status miles) when you buy the ticket.

If the ticket costs more than $400, I would look a bit harder for a cheaper routing and/or try different dates.
