Silly NOOB Question
So I was looking in the flyer talk search and glossary of terms, and I know CPM is cost per mile. That makes me think it is the dollar cost a person pays to get a mile. I am just wondering how the 5 cpm was figured?
Total Miles were 20120 for roundtrip I guess. I am trying to figure out how the cpm was 5?
Any help would be great... THANKS!!

$1006/20120 miles=$0.05/mile, or more commonly, 5 cpm.
Edit- best I'm seeing is JFK-SFO-NRT-CGK-NRT-SFO-JFK for $1003. Totals up to 22659 miles for 4.4 cpm. The NRT-CGK is UA codeshare on ANA only one way, straight ANA coming back (for those considering PQD)

Easy, divide the total fare by the miles. The 5 cpm refers to a $1006 ticket that gives 20120 miles.
$1006/20120 miles=$0.05/mile, or more commonly, 5 cpm.
