Airline: UA
Route: EWR-LAX-MEL-LAX-EWR
Fare Class booked in: L
4 pax, 2 @ $1224.90 and 2 @ $1085.70. Actual miles flown is 20,751.
Trying to help out a friend here. He rarely flies, so my goal is not necessarily the most or the best miles, rather something that he could actually use as-is without needing to accrue any more miles.
UA would give him 5x, meaning 2x 6124 and 2x 5428 - all utterly useless. I'm thinking SQ, which would give him something more useful such as EWR-LAX in J.
Anyone have a better idea?
