PHX to RDU
I just wanted to get input on this...
I am looking at booking a flight for this upcoming weekend - Just a RT for Sat:
PHX-PHL-RDU-PHL-PHX $350RT.
With Bonus, that would be 10,300 miles @0.3cpm.
Is this a good deal?
Appreciate the feedback... Guess I am getting a jump on a few mileage runs since the company travel is down for the year already.

CPM is usually calculated as the price per EQM, not RDM. That's 5150 EQM for $350 so 6.8 CPM. If this is a trip solely for the miles I would hold off for something better but if you actually have a reason to visit RDU it might be worth your time.

Also a (minor) point to the OP: If you're talking about cents/mile, it'd be properly posted as either $0.03 CPM or 3 CPM, not 0.3 CPM. If it were really 0.3 CPM (one third of a penny), that'd be one heck of a deal... about like the Expedia/LAS promo last month.

Last year, I did this trip twice--
PHX-CLT-RDU-PHL-PHX
PHX-PHL-RDU-PHL-PHX
Both times it was part of the double PQM promo (so I received double status miles for everything). I think the first was around $250, and the second $270.
