But, of course.
How do you decide that? Do you actually have TA's search the cheapest rates for your flights? Leg by leg? Different segments together? etc. or do you just use a standard rate that you find on Google Flights/OTA?

2015 was relatively quiet for me:



Total flown: 13,511
Some flights alone, most with DW.

Miles spent:
DL = 25,000
MR = 56,000
UR = 78,906
$484.18

Do you have the dollar value of all the trips that you took in 2015? I'm keeping track of it for my 2016 trips. I think that's the most fun to keep track of. Literally cents on the dollar.

How about the value you put on each of the premium longhaul flights? Literally cents on the dollar as well :)

Take the cheapest way to construct the itin I have. No, I definitely don't go leg by leg. Often query TAs, yes.

Meh.

You traveled in 2015; the above post just means you didn't keep track in 2015 :)

Amazing. But for some reason I thought it would be more.

You earned 100K from SW flights!?! You need more miles, my friend.

Miles are for personal travel. Dollars are for business travel.
