Mileage Distance Tool?
Is anybody aware of any tools that allow to input a starting airport, mileage requirement, plus bonus miles and give me airports to fly too, to get the required miles? Ideally even with a pricing option.
So let's say I need 63000 miles, I'll get 100% elite bonus, and there is a promo for 7000 miles going, and I'm starting at DFW now the programm will give me routings to several airports with prices which would yield the miles.

If you go to http://gc.kls2.com (link also available on www.freewebs.com/flyingisfun ) you can calculate distance between airports, and they will add up segments for the entire trip.
Just multiply total for your elite/FC bonus, and add in bonus yourself at the end. Beware: it does NOT calculate 500-mile minimums.
I don't think site will give you airports to fly to based on miles; just do approximations. Beside, it's more practical to look at fares and destinations than pure mileage.

Thanks all for the reply's. I was familiar with the suggested tools and sites.
I'm more interested in something that'll map out possible routings for me based on the miles I want earn, because I was thinking of writing such a tool, but wanted to check first if it's already available before I spend the time on it.
