Methodology

CPM (cents per mile) measures the net value of redeeming miles versus paying cash. Each date in the calendar is scored as (cash price − taxes) / miles × 100. The leaderboard aggregates observations across the full month and ranks routes by a composite of average CPM (50%), best single-date CPM (30%), and ratio of exceptional dates — those exceeding 4¢/mi — (20%). Cash prices are estimated from seasonality-adjusted baselines and updated with live Amadeus data when available.
