(1/n) Why One-Way fares for mileage value calcs can be deceptive, specially on International Sectors:

Mumbai to Paris Business Class in Early May 2023

Award Ticket Requirement:
One-Way - 54,000 Miles + ₹16,787
Return - 108,000 Miles + ₹40,681

One-Way - ₹156,753
Return - ₹261,257

Lowest Price of Business Class Tickets on any airlines on same days:
- One-Way - ₹106,767
- Return - ₹160,957

(3/n) Value realised per ER Points (5:4 Ratio) after deducting taxes from fares:

For Same Flight
- One-Way - ₹2.1

(4/n) Intent of this 🧵?

Dont fret too much on Value derived.

Focus on the experience!

You cant put a value to ur experience.

I've been on other end of showing Value per Point. But realised soon that this isnt about who got the best value per point. Its about what I get 🙏!
