I just want to know what it is longer from OKC-IAH on Continental than it is from IAH-OKC on Continental.
From my Elite Statement:
SILVER ELITE BONUS IAH-OKC 197 miles.
SILVER ELITE BONUS OKC-IAH 204 miles.
I'm doing this run again in a couple of weeks. Will be curious if it happens again.

IAH-OKC is 409 miles each way. I've gotten a bonus on AA for flights under 500 miles (91 o/w in this case), so you're getting a slightly better bonus. Why they are different is interesting.

A few months ago I flew from Chicago to MSP. Due to a nasty line of storms, the plane flew almost to eastern Colorado before looping back over South Dakota and into MSP. What usually was a 50 minute flight became a 2 and a half hour flight. We probably travelled 1200 miles, but did I get that???
Of course not!
