Routing:
- MIA – MAD (Madrid) – JNB (Johannesburg) – MAD – MIA
Mileage:
- 18,887 miles or 4.5 cents per mile. The best mileage program to put this flight on is with American. The MAD – JNB portion will only earn 60% mileage, so for this trip, you will earn 14,872 miles or 5.8 cents per mile. However, despite only earning 60% mileage for the Madrid – Johannesburg portion with American, that is still better than putting these flights with Iberia’s program. Provide your American AAdvantage number at check-in to receive your miles.
