 <\/p>\n

I booked a trip to Bogota, Colombia earlier this year in April for travel in mid-August. This isn\u2019t exactly my usual mileage run vacation because I paid 6.9cpm for my trip, which isn\u2019t a mileage run fare at all. As you know, I love traveling to South America as I have previously visited countries like Peru<\/a>, Brazil<\/a>, and Chile<\/a>. My goal is to visit every country in South America<\/a> and Latin America<\/a> since I try my best to avoid traveling to Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This comes out to 6.9 cents per mile which isn\u2019t exactly a mileage run since summer fares are always expensive. Though, I did earn 7,697 elite qualifying miles and 15,394 redeemable miles which was not bad at all. I used two American Airlines systemwide upgrades to upgrade my coach fare to First\/Business Class and I was confirmed right away.<\/p>\n
