TOTAL SKYMILES: 5518 (11036 w/dbl mile promo)

Similar to the CO deal posted here this trip can be done without an overnight.

All conections are legal, generated by DL's site... The return trip has tight connections in DFW and CVG though.

Am I missing something here. If this trip is to only get miles, it appears you are paying $187 for 5,518 miles. That means it will cost you around $900 to get a free ticket? And by the way, would that be $0.034 per mile (3.4cents) and not 34 cents?


Unless of course you needed to make this trip for some other reason.

Sign up for the two Delta extra mile promotions (see Delta forum) and turn that an even bigger number!

Even under normal circumstances, this should be considered a very good mileage run candidate. $0.034 per status mile is pretty good in general. However, add in the current Delta double base miles and the yield is great. Even better if you're a current Delta elite flyer. You could easily get the cents per mile down into the 1 to 2 cent range. In any case, it's well worth considering.
