Hello smart TUGgers --
I have a question for you all. I rarely book airfare using miles. So I'm not very up to speed on what good "valuations" are of mile usage.
Today I needed to book a one way ticket from Zurich - Chicago. I used UAL miles to do so and I used 30K miles to do so which seemed like a really low amount to me. After I booked the ticket I looked at how much this ticket would have cost me if I had paid cash -- $1650.
What's going on? 30K miles seems incredibly low for a $1650 airfare.
