Seoul moved 72 miles in 48 hours?

I recently credited my AC flights YVR-ICN-YVR to my UA account.

Since I am Premier Executive, I get a 100% bonus.

The outbound posted at 5080 miles plus 5080 mile bonus.

The return, which was just 48 hours later, posted 5116 miles plus 5116 mile bonus.

Does this happen often?

Any explanation?

Same fare basis code too.

Since it's UA crediting the miles, I think this is more of a question for Mileage Plus.

5116 x 2

Great circle YVR-ICN is 5108, YVR-SEL is 5091.
I'm guessing someone, somewhere finally realized the airport for Seoul ain't what it used to be, but I can't explain the 8-9 miles discrepancy. Taxiing ?

Same thing a while back when Denver moved and it took years for the mileage to be adjusted.

And how does this calculation have anything to do with ICN moving?! So for regular passengers it only "moves" 36 miles, for those that get a 50% bonus it "moves" 54 miles, and for you it "moves" 72 miles?!
