Tripped over this today, using my own tools. Glad to see others are watching... 
Availablility for FLL is every Tue Sep-Dec, and Wed in Sep only. Just booked monthly overnight trips, that locks in Silver. Certs are only good until 10/31, had to pay full price for Nov/Dec. Anyone know what certs are good after 11/1?
FLL in Dec for $108. Better believe it!

As per the milage... huh? Flying Fish shows DTW-FLL as 1127 EQM, and DTW-DFW as 986 EQM.
NW DTW-DFW appeared to have been a match for the $120 all-in AA DFW-DTW.
As a DTW MR'er, it would have to be <$85 all-in, if east of PHX. West of PHX, we can talk, as the red-eye let's you earn miles while burning sleep. Those east-of-PHX turns are going to take up about 7-8 hours, so even leaving at 7am, you're day is 80% gone.

Steve, you are correct about the mileage calcs.
However..... this post was for DTW-FLL -and- DTW-TPA (which is where I would have preferred) That route is 983 miles, ha, so in that case it is slightly more to DFW (like 3 miles) compared to 986. Talk about splitting the hairs of a mouse ! LOL
Anyways I was surprised to actually do the math, it just seemed to me that Texas was farther from Michigan than Florida was, I would have lost or tied that bet. Thanks for the tip on the fish download tool, I'm sure going to keep that one handy !

DTW-FLL is 1137 miles - about 150 more eqm's each way, plus club access (Prez Club). FLL is the no-brainer mileage run decision when the cost is the same.

Looking forward to some more TPA/FLL/MCO Sat turnarounds. Interesting way to use up half a Sat... with the right K-fare and e-cert, you'll get around 2000 EQM, for under $.05/EQM.

Geoff, Steve and TC Flygirl,
if you want to consider carpooling to DTW please let me know private.
When do the ripe cherries hit TC, in July ? I am there.
