The OW planner is decent, but definitely not bug free. I think their pricing generally works out to around $0.10 per mile for Y. Not exactly a steal.

You could have done the SGN special 50 times to JFK in comfort and achieved your goal, would have cost under 50k. And earned you more than 2million RDMs..under Aadvantage program. Hmm actually not bad.. (Includes food drink and accomodation for a year)

No but not a rip off either. At 25000 miles round the world - I like round numbers, 25,000 x 0.10 = 2500$ - - not bad either IMHO

There are certainly worse deals out there. And depending on specific dates and routing, it could actually be a very good deal. It really depends on how savvy one is about it.

I as well am chasing 1MM with United. Started off with CO, and am almost halfway there over the course of 18 years lol (minimal traveling). Maybe we can meet up one of these days haha.

Or 62x the Sake fare. 47,500$, 34,720 TP. Throw in a return US-LON-BRU in J on BA and there's your BA lifetime Gold and 1,300,000 Avios. There are a couple other error fares that come in at a similar price. I certainly wouldn't want to be flying a million miles in Y. You'll be spending nearly 3,000 miles a day in the can...
